Keep those good days coming!

What do you know we enjoyed another wonderful day in Manuel Antonio. We hiked in the rain forest to an  incredible view and then split ways so that I could enjoy the beach and listen to music/tan/journal etc. While my dad stayed in the rain forest and watched for wild life. I think he was successful seeing monkeys and a few sloth.

Today I had a few realizations. I have always wanted to start a blog of my own and this trip has helped me get a feel for it (lightweight).. I love reading other blogs and could spend my whole day consumed in them. But today I came to the conclusions that I am no longer going to talk about starting a blog but actually start one. I am adopting a few motto's/sayings from this trip for my every day life... Nothing goes as planned but everything turns out perfectly. This has been especially true every day of this trip. By allowing life to take its course and have faith that things will work out is something I will value a lot more after I am home. Another thing is to not just say I am going to do something but focus on accomplishing it. I want my determination to rise. So --Do what you say and say what you do. Life is short and I don't want to put my goals on the back burner but instead find a way to make it work with my life now. If I'm truly passionate about something then it should work out fine. (this is my theory -- so I'll be putting it to the test)

I have experienced so many amazing memories on this trip already and the fact that I still have 12 days left could not leave me any happier! I am going to fill each day with the most fun imaginable.

We don't have any plans for the rest of it so we are just deciding as we go from now on. No reservations or anything.. This is my favorite to travel right now because anything goes and the fun seems to be endless.

We also switched to a hotel on the beach which is the same price as the 4 bedroom dorm style we stayed in at Vista Serena. However, Vista Serena did have a killer view as well and was filled with many fun travelers. This one though is the same price and we have a room with a view of the ocean, bathroom and 2 double beds.

Our new view.

It was a nice long hike! :) 

The view was well worth the hike!

Food lately.

Now we are going to enjoy dinner at Costa Linda's which was recommended to us by our last couch surfer Margoth. Tomorrow we are going to try and travel to Montezuma, Costa Rica because we have heard nothing but good things about it! We will be taking a bus and then a ferry there but need to figure out the routes tonight.


Pura Vida.




Here are some pictures from one of the car rides in Costa Rica we have taken.. I just love these ones. 

Cole this one made me think of you!! :)
