After a truly glorious week of lounging, swimming, hiking, basking and relaxing we are back home and trying (sort of unsuccessfully) to remember what normal life looks like. In the midst of reorganizing my classroom and unpacking this week, I’ll try to post some pictures (those of you who’ve been emailing and asking for belly shots, you’re in luck!) and the top 5 highlights of our trip.


THE TOP FIVE OF COSTA RICA
#1 Manuel Antonio (the town we stayed in)

The part of Costa we visited boasts a monkey-meets-mahi, rainforest covered hills leveling into wide white sandy beaches, two-for-one sort of landscape. We’ve never visited the rainforest before and were surprised and delighted daily by the unique beach-meets-rainforest combo.

You’d think we’d get used to the wildly gorgeous views from our resort (and all the restaurants we ate at), but nope- just as stunning and amazing on Day 9 as on Day 1. And the surprise of spotting monkeys swinging through the trees bordering the beach, or of glancing up from my chaise next to the pool to notice an iguana lounging in the garden below us gave our “beach vacation” it’s own unique twist.
