Thoughts on Costa Rica

Pura Vida - the pure life - a common phrase heard from the mouths of Ticos (costa ricans) who really know how to enjoy life. My ten day trip to Costa Rica was eye-opening. We traveled to the Nicoya peninsula - one of the few places that hasn't been overrun by tourists and overdeveloped. The area can only be reached by prop plane, lacks stable electricity, and the roads are paved nightly using molasses.

It was exactly what I hoped for - a trip that took me outside the usual comforts of travel.
