Honeymoon

We started off our trip in Bajos del Toro, which is located inland of Costa Rica. Our concierge took us on a sweet horse-back ride through the rainforest and around the local town.


Next day, we went zip-lining through the rainforest. So cool!



Then we went white water rafting on the river! Here are our sweet helmets. We saw tucans and tons of greenery. We even went cliff jumping into the river.

Then our concierge took us on a "cultural tour" around bajos del toro, which consisted of visiting his families' houses.

His Aunt taught us how to make tortillas. Very delicious!

Leaving Bajos, we drove by sweet waterfalls. The cliff down the mountain was really scary.

We took a tiny airplane to Guanacaste for our next location. We sat in the front row, right by the pilots!

We took a boat tour around Tamarindo and searched for Crocodiles and monkeys. We saw both! I also got to hold a creepy crab in my hand. Chris was too scared to touch anything.

Here are the monkeys!

We walked up to get some lunch at the "Crazy monkey". When we turned around, we saw this beautiful view!

We rented beach cruisers and went biking on the beach, just in time for sunset.

Here is our last minute of Costa Rica. Miss the beach so much!

Thanks for a great trip babe! Love you so much! Seriously, the best week of my life. I'm so sad to be back in provo, going back to real life. I want to live in fantasy land forever!

By the way, Pura Vida means "pure life". Costa Rica has this saying everywhere! We talked to a local and he says they use it in casual conversation all the time. The phrase refers to anything that is positive and good and uplifting. My honeymoon was pura vida!

PURA VIDA!
