Costa Rica is and will forever be in my heart. I have been there 3 times already, and I'm sure there will be more visits to come. I love the people, places, beaches, and food. Everyone lives the "Pura Vida" way of life. Some of the cities I have visited are San Jose, Turrialba, Arenal, Manuel Antonio, Cartago, Quepos, and Jaco. I miss my friends greatly and hope to see them soon. I have stories I will be adding later, but please enjoy some of my photos.
