Having a great time here in Costa Rica. The weather has been perfect - warm, humid and breezy. However last night, it dumped rain for about 2 minutes. Now we are in La Fortuna staying at a place for $5 a night! Had some yummy casados (lunch plate of rice, beans, salad, and chicken for $4) at a local soda and are now about to go for a hike at Volcan Arenal.
Arenal has been compared to the Loch Ness Monster because, as one fellow traveler put it, "it's there, you see pictures of it, you hear about it, but you never really see it."
Last night, went to Baldi Hot Springs. The water is pumped from the mineral springs and is heated from the lava flows. There were around ten different pools all over the grounds, lots of lush vegetation and waterfalls (man made). Anyway, I'll be here for the next 2 days then heading to Monteverde and then the Pacific coast.
