Arenal

My family mailed me a camera from home, so I can take pictures again!

A few of us did a daytrip to the volcano Arenal. Uncle Doug was actually in Costa Rica at Arenal a few days before us and warned that it was pouring rain, but we brought the good weather with us. We stopped in town at a little restaurant and had the infamous fruit smoothies that will probably never be beat.




Eventually we rolled in to this gorgeous resort with polished marble and wood everything and were escorted down to the hot spring pools. They were fantastic. They were different temperatures, one had a rock waterslide (that tore up its share of swimsuits), and one had a swim up bar. Yeah, that's right.




The only bummer was that we couldn't see the lava at night because the clouds were too low. Still, it was an excellent trip. Thank you, Kim Anderson.
