Costa Rica- Part 1

I have to say Costa Rica was one of my favorite vacations I have ever had. It was so gorgeous and there was so much to do. We had so much fun seeing everything we could fit into the schedule, but we definitely want to go back for more. Here are some of our best pictures- there are a lot so I will post more later.
This is the atrium of our first hotel.


The beach at our hotel- Paradisus Playa Conchal

The gorgeous sunsets

Flamingo Island


One of Chad's catches, and my big catch for the day. (mahi mahi)

The dolphins followed us around all day, they are hard to photograph (At least if I am the one with the camera)


The beautiful countryside

Chad could not get enough of this guy, he thought it was so hilarious, but actually we saw a bunch of people doing stuff like this

The super awesome mix of the cow, the camel, and the hound-dog

Arenal Lake- It was so pretty and we got to drive all the way around

And when we got around we saw this, the Arenal Volcano. Our hotel was about a fourth of the way up the side, and we could see the bright red lava at the top every few hours or so (which was way cool to see at night), but it mostly just smoked


The hot springs in our hotel, they were all made into little pools and waterfalls, and then they made a garden around it.
