fun in the jungle

Last night I got back from a week long trip to Costa Rica with my sister Kari. It was incredible! It is such a beautiful country, every thing is so green and tropical. It was paradise. I was a little nervous about just the two of us going, especially because we heard a lot of bad things about the road conditions and the crazy drivers, but we didn't have any problems. Everyone we met was super friendly, and the roads weren't as bad as we thought. And we only got our car stuck in the mud once (luckily the next car that passed us didn't hesitate to help us, the guys wife was even knee deep in the mud trying to help).

Here's a recap of our trip:


We did lots of hiking through the rain forests to idyllic waterfalls.







Came across lots of exotic animals and reptiles.


Explored the jungles.


Ate a large amount of surprisingly delicious food.



Took a dip in incredible hot springs.




Relaxed at the beach.


And most importantly, survived the roads.
