Road Trip with the Girls!




This last weekend was my last full weekend in Costa Rica. It is hard to believe, but I will be back in the States on Saturday. I am really looking forward to seeing all my friends and family. But in the mean time I wanted to make my last weekend in Costa Rica really special. So I called up Andrea, my Costa Rican friend, and we planned a fantastic weekend with some of my closest girl friends from the trip.

We chose to go to Arenal Volcano, visit some totally natural hot springs, and take a canopy tour. One of my highlights from the whole trip was going on the canopy tour. At first I was really nervous; I could feel my heart pounding. But once I took the leap of faith and jumped off the platform I didn’t want to stop. I felt like I could do anything. The sights were absolutely breathtaking. I have had dreams that I could fly, but this experience made my dreams feel like a reality. I felt so big and so small at the same time! I felt like a bird flying at lightening speed over the tops of trees. I could see for miles and miles while waterfalls passed me by at over 60 miles per hour!
