My Top Seven Costa Rica Experiences (so far)

We still have two months left in Costa Rica so I’m sure there are many more great experiences to be had, but here are my top seven experiences so far.

1 – The time my mom and I went to the post office and asked for five stamps. We gave the post office worker 1,000 colones, but then he couldn’t give us change…because he didn’t have any, I guess. After checking his pockets he just shrugged his shoulders and asked us to be on our way.  Okay, so those words didn’t really come out of his mouth, but he said it with his eyes.

I guess I can live without the 22 cents. It was certainly worth the laugh.

2 – The water slide and swim up bar at the Tabacon Hot Springs Resort.

3 – The canopy tour and zip lining experience is a must-do when in Costa Rica. Just be prepared for the biggest wedgie of your life.

4 – The day Jason fixed the Internet and we didn’t have to work outside by the pool anymore.

5 – Swimming underneath a waterfall(s). Who knew a waterfall could really take your breath away?

6 – Seeing a tarantula and a scorpion for the first time and the second time. Well, it was the first time seeing these bugs when they weren’t behind glass at a zoo or something.

7 – Jason’s expression when a butterfly landed on his face and the other time when a hummingbird flew circles around him.  I think the bird wanted to eat him because it hovered over Jason’s shoulder for a bit.
