Zip-lining in Monteverde
Canyoning or waterfall rappelling (yup, that's me)
Our view from our room in Manuel Antonio.
K and I spent an entire day reading and doing sudoku puzzles on this balcony.
How can anyone NOT want to be lazy here?
Culinary thoughts: If any of you decide to stay in Monteverde, I highly recommend Sofia, a "Latin-fusion" restaurant. Kanji and I had probably one of the best steaks there - the grilled tenderloin. Its sister restaurant located nearby, La Chimera, serves delicious tapas and drinks, notably the passion fruit caipirinha. If you visit Manuel Antonio, do not eat at Coconuts - the worst sushi we ever had in our lives, although a particular sushi spot here in San Diego may compete for that position.

The scariest thing we did: waterfall rappelling. At the mid-point of a 100+ foot waterfall, I had so much water pounding into my face that I seriously thought I was going to die. A split second after the occurrence of such a thought, I firmly told myself that I was the only person to save myself and I needed to climb down the waterfall! Second scariest: the tarzan swing (not pictured above.) During our ziplining tour, we climbed up a series of ladders, hooked ourselves onto a rope and were pushed off a platform, swinging Tarzan-style. I couldn't stop screaming.

Welcome back, Nasus!! Sounds like you had quite the fun trip (tickets and food poisoning aside) - I want to hear ALL about it! So glad you're back! xo-S.
What a wonderful adventure!! I would love to go somewhere like that!
Welcome back!! The photos were such a nice surprise this morning! Can't wait to hear more :-)
Welcome back! Sounds like you had fun! (but so busy. My itinerary would have been more like "beach, drink, repeat")
I'm totally jealous! We've been dying to go to Costa Rica. You definitely deserved a break away! Looks like you had tons of fun. We miss you two.
