    At the airport, people kept asking us if we were headed on a vacation. Hmmm, was it that obvious with the shorts in the middle of winter?

    After a long travel day (one big delay, two layovers, and an hour's drive from the airport once we landed), it was fantastic to wake up to this view on Playa Flamingo, one of the many beaches on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.

    On the way out to Arenal from Flamingo, we stopped at a wildlife rescue center called Monkey Park in Portegolpe, Guanacaste. They rescue all types of wildlife for rehabilitation with the eventual goal of releasing them back into the wild.

    These marmosets at Monkey Park were hilarious. The one on the left would not stop gnawing at the cage. The facial expression on the one on the right says it all.

    This spider monkey at Monkey Park was one of my favorites. He kept posing like a supermodel.

    One of the best lunches we had while in Costa Rica was at the Hacienda La Pacifica restaurant. Here, garlic shrimp and rice with a mango smoothie.
