Some fun photos from our 3 day weekend... We decided to take a one day tour.. We started off by going to downtown San Jose and hopping on a bus by 0600.. Yes it was very early. We picked up other amercian passengers. All together their was about 15 people. We went with 3 of our friends..
WE started off by visiting a coffee plantation.The first picture is of a coffee plant. Those are what they call Cherries. When they turn red, it is time to pick them. First they teach you about the process of how coffee is grown and then how it ends up. It was pretty interesting. Andy sort of thought it was lame, but it was 7 am. And we all know how much of an early bird he is!!!! They also served us traditional Costa Rican breakfast called Gallo Pinto. And i will be truthful, i have not been eating too much TRADITIONAL anything, due to the fact that i just don't want to.. But this was really good. I also did not try any coffee, if my friend Mary is reading, she will just die. Because she loves plain coffee from different countries. I on the other hand, would have given it a try if they had coffee mate Amaretto creamer next to it!!But they did not..
Next we went to the VOLCANO POAS it was okay, everytime we go to volcano's here we get tons of fog. So we can not see anything... Not the greatest.
Third we visited LA PAZ WATER FALL, this was so awesome looking. We started out by walking through an AVIARY with huge exotic birds. The video above is a Macau, getting on Andy's arm. We were in this gazebo, and he moved up by it, and being the brave person he was. He just let the bird hop on him..
It was really cool, i was a complete wussy, and did not want anything touching me.. Next we walked through a BUTTERFLY GARDEN and HUMMING BIRD GARDEN. Once again, the butterflies grossed me out. Everyone in the group was touching the butterflies and putting them on their arms, and even on thier faces!!!. The one picture is off a butterfly on our friends arm. I was so scared of them. One landed on my shoulder and I practically jumped on one of our friends to get it off of me. Also, they had like 900 butterflies just flying around. It was really kind of gross, but pretty. I know that makes perfect sense..
Next was a the FROG AREA, and SNAKE AREA. The frog area also was weird. You walk through this little room and their are tons of FROGS everywhere. I was getting a little nauseous by this point... Thank God we finally went off to see the waterfall.
Now, the waterfall was BREATH TAKING. Our camera ran out of batteries at this point. So no pics were taken. But it was a complete blast.It makes me realize how awesome God is when you see things as breath taking as waterfalls....How creative our God is, he creates such beautiful things as Waterfalls, and also creates freckles on faces.. Very detailed.
We had a lot of fun, lots of memories. And to our family who come visit, we hope to take you to all these places...
love you all, Chelsea
