Self-Portrait by Sara
Sara is the author of this blog entry, and she took all of the pictures (except for the physically impossible ones that include her). If you like to relax on a beautiful beach or explore tiny shops full of culture, Puerto Viejo is a good choice for you. If you like to experience nightlife full of dancing and socializing down main street and also on the beaches, Puerto Viejo is the perfect place for you.
By day, Nicole, Sarah, Morgan, Ginger, Justin, two members of CPI, Sonia and Aleks, and I explored the many different beaches (Playa Negra in particular) and observed the laid-back atmosphere of the people in the town. Everybody was so quiet, yet extremely polite. We spent a lot of time swimming and taking as many pictures as possible.
At night time the city comes to life. No matter where you are standing, music is heard from every direction. Every bar and club is lit up and full of people ready to party. Friday night we hung out at the beach, while Saturday night we danced and socialized with all the locals and other exchange students. With little sleep and a lot of memories, we made the 4-hour bus drive back after swinging by the largest Burger King I’ve ever seen.
Puerto Viejo was definitely one of my
ASU Caribbean Group (Plus One)
Justin, Ginger, Sarah, Morgan, Sara, and Nicole were the members of the group who spent the weekend on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. The guy on the left is not from our group! favorite places I’ve been to in Costa Rica, however, it is difficult to compare apples to oranges. Every place we’ve been is different in its own way, and that’s what I love about Costa Rica. From the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, Costa Rica is full of so many different cultures that everyone should experience at least once in their life.
