The first place I went was the national park named "Rincon de la Vieja." It was just outside a really cute town, Liberia, and we hiked through the forest an arrived at a waterfall. It was soooo beautiful, which was a good thing since the hike was sooo strenuous and I thought I would die trying to hike it all! But we finally made it, and went swimming and ate lunch there. It was really nice, but I didn't see any animals (except some lizards). But that's okay! It was really fun. I went with some of the other international students, who stayed longer and continued on to the beach. I left after one night, though, to go a different beach with my host family. |

So this was the beach and one of the pools in the resort where I stayed with my host family. It's called Punta Leona, and it isn't too far from Jaco beach. It was really beautiful, and I had fun hanging out with them for the weekend. I saw lots of crabs, which was exciting. It rained a lot, but that didn't matter. We just hung out in the pool and played sports (I know, I played football and volleyball, are you in shock?) while it rained. |

A couple of days after I got back from the beach, I went to Volcan Poas on a day trip. My first volcano! It was really pretty, and I had a good time. There was sulfur steaming out of the walls of the crater, kinda scary! There is also a really nice lagoon just to the right of the main crater (the one shown in the picture). It was really cloudy, but we did catch a glimpse of everything! |
