Costa Rica

Mark's cousin was getting married in Costa Rica, and we decided what a great time to go and visit yet another tropical destination. We stayed in a beautiful hotel, La Mariposa, in fact we even got a private villa which if it had a kitchen I may not have returned home. Costa Rica is a very beautiful area with a lot of rain forests and beautiful beaches. It is very humid there, and unfortuantely during our short trip we did not get to see a cloudless sky. Around our hotel we got to encounter a lot of animals, mainly monkeys and geckos. When we were on the beach we met an iguana and a sloth. Very cool! Mark and I met up with his cousins and aunts and uncles to enjoy the festivities. Allie and Mike got married on the hotels terrace looking over the ocean. It did rain on their wedding day.... but that wasn't unusual for Costa Rica. The saying goes when it rains, it pours. Mike and Allie did not let the rain stomp down on their beautiful blissful day. We enjoyed our time in Costa Rica, minus the 21 bug bites I came home with and what the humidity did to my hair. Check out our amazing trip and the beautiful couple.
