Bueno Vida

Ahhh..... The Good Life. Costa Rica treated us well this past week. We did a lot of just sitting on the beach reading, talking, and people watching. One of my favorite things to do. Our biggest laugh came on Friday when we were watching a marine seargent type black man run up and down the beach in his high-waisted speedo. Too funny. Even funnier was when he stopped to do push-ups and his behind was really high in the air. Kind of like an upside down "V"..........not the proper form (just fyi in case you were thinking of doing the same. Bobby would do the Rocky theme every time he passed by. Good times. We went on a Catamaran Sunset cruise on Wednesday. It was really beautiful and they fed us pineapples so that made me happy.

Wonderful to watch the sun set over the ocean. We were even followed by a group of dolphins for a long time. I could watch dolphins all day. They are so graceful.

My most favorite activity was the Zip Line Tour. We got to go on a total of 11. It was SO much fun. I pretty much already knew what I was doing since I watch so much "Go Diego, Go!" with the boys. I even screamed out a little "AYUDAME!!!" (Help Me! in spanish). Diego says it all the time. This is Bobby just coming in on one of the lines. I'm walking up a little hanging bridge thing to get to the top to take the next line. I will admit that the pulse was a bit more rapid than normal. By the time I got really used to it, it was over.
Just a quick view of the zip line. I'm on there somewhere if you look really closely. This particular one was half a mile long. The view was tremendous though. I loved this one. Costa Rica was very dry right now because the part of the country we were in was in the dry season. This is the last month of 6 that they will have no rain. It starts back up in June and then everything will be plush and green but they said that is their lowest tourist time due to the weather. We had such a great time and have come back renewed and refreshed. I was hoping to get to use a little more of my spanish while I was there but everyone on the resort spoke english! Bobby threw out a lot of "muy bueno".........everything was muy bueno. And I did use some of what I've learned. My only problem is that when confronted with a spanish speaker, I forget all I've learned and my pits just start sweating. Fortunately with the 100 degree weather and extreme humidity no one was the wiser.............

I took many more photos, but too many containing not enough clothing coverage for internet usage. Bobby wore loin cloths the whole time and I was in my bathing suit all week. You'll thank me later. Until next time.......................

P.S. He didn't really wear loin cloths but he threatened it.
