Costa Rica Travel Blogs

Background: Costa Rica is a Central American success story: since the late 19th century, only two brief periods of violence have marred its democratic development. Although still a largely agricultural country, it has expanded its economy to include strong technology and tourism sectors. The standard of living is relatively high. Land ownership is widespread.

The morning Quentin was coming I woke up super early because I was soooo excited. Went to pick him up at the airport with Cacha and waited what seemed like forever for him to finally come out. He made it and we hugged and off to buy some food for breakfast we went. More eggs and bacon and juice and then off to the bus stop to start exploring. Waited at the bus stop for awhile and Quentin got a taste of what a work day look for me. We waited, then got on the bus and hung out. I tried [View Full Entry]

Nice day today (cloudy, tiny bit of sun and warm), didn't do much... would have liked a tour of the city. I decided to wait on Fredrico, who was busy today. He said 2 or 3 hours should be enough and he would charge $20, I said can we cover the city so quick and he said (as is getting to be a theme) a lot of the city we wouldn't return from if we went there. Prices here are like back home for processed type food (vegetables by big contrast are $1 for a Kilo of tomatoes and maybe a [View Full Entry]

Trip log. Vancouver to Costa Rica with 2 hr. layover Dallas flying time 7 hrs. $1085 round trip, return mid Feb from San Jose. Taxis airport to downtown $20. I walked a block and got a bus within a min. for 500 colones = $1 CND. The bus went within 3 blocks of the hotel and a very friendly beautiful CR lady on the bus told me about CR during the 30 min. ride. She suggested I get a taxi for the 3 blocks. A number of people were interacting (offering dubious services) with me as I looked for a cab. [View Full Entry]

Greetings to all of you old bloggers and to all of you new enlistees. Many of you have asked about the blog and why you haven't heard from us for so long. Well to tell you the truth I though that since we were both back in the states we would see or talk to most of you at some time durring the summer and Fall months. As it turned out, that was the case for most of you. It is now November 21 and Laura and I have returned to Costa Rica for the next 6 months. The 5th wheel [View Full Entry]

Hey there, Sorry i haven't written in a while. I just wasn't feeling it the pat couple of days. But since we will be leaving soon i decided to catch you up. On Wednesday we woke up and it was very nice outside. The previous day it had rained so we were happy to know that our adventures would be happening on a pretty day. At around 6:15 am the boys (Myles and George) left to go on their fishing trip. Cindy and i decided to just relax at the cabina for the next couple of hours until our tour was [View Full Entry]

Hey all, I am doing one blog entry for both yesterday and today. We haven't done a whole lot and there aren't a lot of pictures so it would be easier to condense it. Yesterday we woke up around 7:30am to the sound of rain pounding on the roof. Cindy and George were getting ready to leave. Their taxi was supposed to get here at 8am. As they were finishing up last minute things, Myles and i got up to see them off. Before we knew it the taxi had arrived and we were waving them out the door. I cant [View Full Entry]

Sorry this is late but we were all feeling too tired last night to mess with the blog. Yesterday was a lot of fun! We started off the day by getting picked and driven into town (not having to walk into town is always nice) and getting dropped off at the Terra Adventures place. They had our ATV's ready and waiting for us. Our guide was a very nice guy name Raul. He showed us how to use the ATV's and had us drive up and down the streeta couple of times. He had to go help Crista because she got [View Full Entry]

Hey there, So we had a lot of plans today that kinda got shot down because of the rain. We woke up around 5:30am to Myles blaring alarm clock on his phone. We weren't sure that we would get up that early without help so we set it last night. Fishing is early business. The boys (Myles and George) had a fishing trip set today and they had to meet their captain on the other side of town at 7am so we got up early to prepare for their departure. Cindy and i had a kind of girly day. We planned [View Full Entry]

While visiting Granada last month, during an Irish pub´s quiz night, we were lucky to meet Berny and Julia, a great couple living near San José, Costa Rica. They had invited us to stay with them during our Costa Rican trip. (To protect their identity, we never learned their last names, except when it was included in their email addresses.) Originally, we had hoped to see them over a few days. Between illnesses and Bree-sightings, our plans went awry and we only had a single day to spend in San José. On Tuesday, Nov. 10th, we headed into the capital of [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone, Today was awesome. As i mentioned in the last blog Myles had been really wanting to go snorkeling, and since our last attempt did not work (it was the day Myles was deathly ill.) yesterday we signed up for a tour to Cahuita National Park and some snorkeling at the point there. Cahuita is one of only two living coral reefs in all of Costa Rica, and it is supposed to be beautiful. We woke up around 7:30. Our bus was supposed to pick us up at 8:00am. We had a little toast (and tried the new peanut butter. [View Full Entry]
