My mother and cousin Casey got in last Wednesday...since then it's been go, go, go! The first day we spent at Fijoles Locos trying to plan the entire trip so that they could do everything they wanted. Believe it or not, it took a while. We went turtling that night, but found nothing
The second day I brought them surfing. Ha ha...I got up on my board the first try! Eventually my mom got it down and Casey did pretty well. I managed to run home just in time to grab the camera and get shots of my mom on a wave and 2 for Casey. They were also fortunate enough to see the howler monkeys and listen to their crazy calls.
The next day we went horseback riding through the mountains and on the beach. It was beautiful, but my horse hated life and wanted to walk 500ft behind, then play catch up. My mother and I walked away in absolute pain from the trip, but Casey rather enjoyed it. Must be nice just getting back from horse camp and not being sore at all. Casey also tried sushi, prepared by Fernando, for the first time. That was entertaining. She doesn't like raw fish, but was okay with shrimp tempura.
We went to Monteverde yesterday and did the whole mountain hike/zipline thing and saw the largest and rarest bird in all of Costa Rica 30min after leaving Playa Grande (and us without a good camera in hand)...but I'll post about that later!
