This morning I was woken up around 5:30 in the morning (which is early to me lately) and told my mom, dad and I were going on a car ride two hours away from here. So I packed up my bag and off we went. Unfortunately, the morning was quite rotten with tons of rain. To get to where we were going we had to drive through the twisty curvy roads of the mountains. Curves and rain made for a long uncomfortable trip there. I have a strong stomach thank goodness though. Once we arrived in the province called Limon, we hopped out of the car to look at some lots of land that were for sale. Meanwhile it was still raining lightly.

While we were looking at the lots, my father and my uncle decided to tell me about all the different types of trees and what they produce. The picture directly above is a green tree that I can´t quite remember the name of, but I do know that you can take the branches and leaves of the tree and make it into tea. This tea, they told me, is quite useful for getting rid of hangovers. It takes away the bad feeling you feel in your stomach, and with that they said I might need some so they cut off a few branches and put in the car. :P
Above are some of the beautiful plants that Costa Rica strikes me with, everyday. At first, it may look like just a bunch of green but it is so much more. Look closely and you will see that there are so many types of trees that all produce a different type of flower or fruit. It´s amazing.
