Living Pure Vida!

While the weather has been gorgeous here in Seattle, we decided to take a quick week long vacation to an even warmer climate south of the boarder, Cost Rica. We had been looking online and found an all-inclusive deal that we couldn't pass up so we headed to Jaco, Costa Rica for a week where the temps were in the upper 90's with chances for thunderstorms daily.

We stayed at a great resort called Morgan's Cove Resort and Casino which was located about a 10 minute walk from the downtown of Jaco and included pools, bars with all the umbrella drinks you could handle and of course beach front access. Jaco is a really laid back surfers community located about an 1.5 hour drive from San Jose and consists of a long street with lots of little shops selling surfing gear to souvenirs and interesting little restaurants. We did find a KFC, Quizno's, Subway and Pizza Hut but no Starbucks or McDonalds.

Highlights from our week include going ziplinging through the rain forest, riding ATVs, going white water rafting on class iii rapids due to the rain, hiking through the rain forest, taking a day boat ride to Tortuga Island to see the turtles, snorkeling and of course lounging by the pool.

We're definitely looking forward to going back for another trip and seeing what the rest of Costa Rica has in store.
