Costa Rica Independence day

This is what we do in my town to celebrate Costa Rica's Independence Day. All the kids dress up, and play instruments. It was so cute to see. More pics to come.

Visit to a Farm

Here are just random vegetables. Most of them we have except the one that looks like a pumpkin plant. I think it is called Ai Chote. (not sure about the spelling though)

And finally Jaco Beach!!

This is Jaco Beach. Isnt it beautiful. Luckily, I get to go back in January. It was pretty hot, but it was a nice change since it is pretty cold in my town, well cold for what I consider Summer, but there summer is not until January. It looks exactly like those pictures in the Travel Magazines. :)

The Cottage before we got to the beach.

These are just a couple pictures on the road on the way to the beach. We stopped at a friend's cottage. And yes that is a terrifying scorpion, and it was a little too close for comfort. The bottom picture is just a awkward tree, thought it looked rather interesting.

Crocodile Bridge..

Scary pictures huh? I wouldnt want to go swimming with those bad boys. I think I counted 30!!! Pretty view of the river though.

On the way to the Beach!!

These are all from the view of a beautiful restaurant on my way to the beach. More pictures to come.

Volcano Irazu

This is on the way to the Volcano, and below is my other exchange student named Margaret. I found out that Volcano Irazu is actually active but it is only internally active. I thought it was pretty cool :)
