Costa Rica!!

My travels now take me to Costa Rica with some of my best buds from med school. Yesterday we all arrived at different times and had our own struggles finding out beautiful yet well-hidden AirBnB rental. It was a farm not far from the airport, but oddly positioned between a horse farm and a gravel pit. Nonetheless, we were absurdly happy to be reunited.

In the morning, we did some yoga (sort of haha) and hung out by our pool until the latest to arrive in our group were ready to go.

Pretty nice digs! Spring-fed pool.

Next we made our way to Poas Volcano, which smells like sulfur but is otherwise not too active. It has a HUGE crater with light blue lake in the middle. It was unfortunately super cloudy when we were there but the sun burned off some of the clouds for a few minutes to give us a glimpse. Next, we stayed in the park and went on a short but steep hike to see a quiet volcano with a crater lake.

Some general medical advice

It was a little cloudy.

We moved on in the afternoon to a different region, surrounding the volcano, Arenal. We are staying at a gorgeous home on a ranch. AirBnB is awesome, especially with a group. We signed up for some fun outdoor activities tomorrow and had dinner in the closest town, Fortuna, which is an outdoor adventure mecca.

La Paz river and waterfalls! On the road.
