One fine
Spring day after many postponements, we embarked
on a long-awaited family adventure to the beautiful
country of Costa Rica.
This is a personal
account of our adventure, produced for our own pleasure
and to share with friends and family, but which we think
might provide some helpful information as well as a
little enjoyment. For us Costa Rica is not just
about rain forests and scenery and ecology, but consists
of the heartbeat of the people who bring it to
life. There is a plethora of information on the
web about Costa Rica and this site is not intended to be
a comprehensive travel resource.
However, we think the
knowledge and information gleaned from others' travel
reports is invaluable especially when planning a trip to
an area where you have not been before and have no
personal point of reference. If you have done any
traveling,
you already know that things are sometimes
not
what you
imagined or expected from the brochures or
advertisements. We found that to be especially
true in Costa Rica. So personal, candid accounts
from others' experiences can greatly contribute to the
success of another's trip. And besides,
they can be extremely entertaining -- esta muy
divertido!
Our photographs were
taken with an inexpensive camera, a mistake I
won't repeat.
Some of the
photos and sounds have been graciously provided by others and are used with their
written permission.
If I have used a photo that you think is yours and
is not acknowledged, please let me know and I will provide
credit or remove it immediately.
We hope you will enjoy our site.
I highly recommend you visit the Q&A
forum set up by Philip Greenspun to ask specific questions of
others who have had their own Costa Rican adventures.
