Costa Rica

MY GIRLFRIEND IS THE MOST AMAZING PERSON I'VE
EVER MET. SHE BOUGHT US TICKETS TO COSTA RICA
FOR MY BIRTHDAY FOR A LITTLE SURF TRIP. WE ENDED
UP STAYING FOR 11 DAYS DO TO A FACIAL INJURY
BUT OTHER THAN THAT HICK UP WE HAD AN AMAZING
TIME. WE STARTED OUR TRIP FLYING INTO SAN JOSE
AIRPORT. WE GOT OUR RENTAL CAR WHICH WAS A
PEUGEOT 206( IT'S NOT THE BEST CAR FOR COSTA
RICA)AND DROVE THE LITTLE SUCKER 3 HOURS TO
PLAYA AVELLANAS. FROM AVELLANAS WE DROVE
TO PLAYA GRANDE WHICH IS A 30 MIN. DRIVE UP
THE PACIFIC COAST. WE ENDED UP TRAVELING DOWN
THE WEST COAST LINE FROM GRANDE ALL THE WAY
TO PLAYA HERMOSA. WE STOPPED AT THE BEST PLACES
ON THE WAY. OUR 3RD STOP ON THE TRIP WAS PLAYA
NEGRA WHICH WE LOVED SO WE STAYED AN EXTRA
NIGHT THERE. THEN FROM NEGRA WE DROVE TO
PLAYA GUIONES IN OUR LITTLE CAR IN THE UNPAVED
ROCKY ROADS. IT SEEMED LIKE THE ROADS GOT WORST
THE MORE SOUTH YOU WENT. WE HAD A BLAST
DRIVING THE ROADS AND CROSSING THE RIVERS
ON OUR WAY TO THE NEXT DESTINATIONS. GUIONES
WAS COOL BUT CROWDED WITH TOURIST SO WE
HEADED DOWN TO MAL PAIS AND STAND IN THE
TREE HOUSES WHICH WAS SO AMAZING AND
BEAUTIFUL. WE HAD A GREAT TIME IN MAL PAIS
BUT WE HAD TO CATCH THE FERRY THE NEXT DAY
TO HEAD TO PLAYA HERMOSA. HERMOSA WAS
REAL AWESOME. THE TOWN WAS COOL AND
THE PEOPLE WERE EVEN COOLER. WE HAD A
GREAT TIME IN HERMOSA UNTIL I TOOK THE NOSE
OF MY BOARD TO THE FACE AND ENDED UP WITH
ABOUT 18 TO 20 STITCHES. OTHER THAN THAT
WE HAD SUCH AN AMAZING TIME IN THE COUNTRY.
SO HERE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTOS THAT STEPH
AND I TOOK ON OUR JOURNEY. THANKS SO MUCH
STEPH FOR THE GREAT TRIP, YOU ARE THE BEST!
