The beauty in Costa Rica amazes me to say the least. Some of the things we have seen just make you feel like a tiny person. The rafting trip, the rain-forests, the beaches, all of it just makes a person stop and stare. I have recently found myself looking at things that would have amazed me 4 weeks ago and just not appreciating their beauty now because we have seen so many things that are that much better. A perfect example is after the bus got stuck on the Osa trip we traveled through something that looked like a palm tree farm with tons of trees that were awesome and in perfect rows and I didn't even look at them twice until someone said, "how cool would this have been to us a month ago?". Another example is the mountains in San Jose. I took tons of pictures the first week we were here of the mountains around San Jose and now that I have seen some of the other stuff we have seen, specifically the volcano, I just don't look twice at them as I walk home or to school. Even something as small as a simple rain storm is just amazing here.
The fact that we have gotten to see the country would be enough but we have gotten to take guided tours and walks just to look closer at all of the things that Costa Rica has to offer. We got to interact and live in the midst of all of the beauty in Costa Rica and it truly was the experience of a lifetime. Everyone I talk to plans on coming back here at one point in their lives. We truly have gotten the ecotourism experience during our time in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
