Costa Rica - Day 1

ok So Eric and I have had some trouble with this dumb blog. Bare with us as we try to learn how to use it. We would have posted more pics last night but we were getting too frustrated. So...heres a re-cap of our day yesterday. We woke up early. At least i did..i couldnt wait to see what Costa Rica looked like in the sunlight. It is beautiful. It reminds me of a more junglier Hawaii. It was really sunny and hot. PERFECT! if you ask me. Around 10am Eric, Clark, Cade, Michele and I made a trip to the only little super market open on Sunday to pick up a few things to eat. Kathleen wanted to stay back and walk up and down the beach. Anyway it was pretty cute..(the super market)..VERY HOT inside and everything had dust on it. haha. At least you could still buy cereal and milk. Thats all i need to survive a week. :)We then came back to our condo and swam in the pool in the back yard. The Pool is so nice! i'm obsessed. Anyway..the boys tried blowing up our kayak but that was unsuccessful. Later in the day we made our way over to Playa Flamingo (a beach) where we laid out and boogie boarded. It Was SOOOOOOOOOOOO fun. The water was so warm. Me and Eric started getting carried away and i ended up riding on his back..on the boogie board...into shore. Funny Funny Stuff! We ate that night at some restaurant thing on the beach. It was ghetto but nice at the same time. They set us out so we were all facing the water but we couldnt see it cause it was too dark. Then we were visited by a stray dog, then a stray cat. ..Which i fed bread and then got yelled at for. It was just chillin under our table with big huge Lily eyes. I couldnt resist. Before and after we ate our meal a lady came around with a bowl with water and hibiscus flowers and made us all wash our hands..then she would wipe them off for us. It was kinda wierd. Then she gave us girls flowers for our hair ....so it seemed nice but the food sucked. :( oh Well. Then we came home and went to bed. It was a really great first day. I loved it. It thunder stormed all night which kinda scared me but its expected since its the rainy season. <3>

Costa Rica-Travel

Goodness,

That would definately be a good word for anyone to use when describing taking a little over a week with some best friends to relax and think about nothing. Well our "goodness" for this year is consisting of a trip to Costa Rica and JUNE 21st was the start of our journey.

Friday night, we(Cade & Michele Bogren, Clark, Kathleen, Jessica, and Eric Cannon(me) got together to try and take our bags to the airport to check at around midnight, so that we'd have nothing to worry about for our 7am flight on Saturday. They informed us that we couldn't check our bags until 4:30am, so we went back to Big Ron C's to have a little 4.5 hour sleep over before going to the airport.
In the morning we rolled to the airport, checked the stuff and started our flight to Atlanta. In McCarran i threw down a pretzel dog and cheese while the ladies and Cade hit that Cinnabun.

After a 2 hours lay over we jumped on a plane down to Liberia, Costa Rica. We were greeted by all the Costa Ricans trying to taxi us or rent us a car, but we had someone waiting for us that we had planned in advance to take us to get our Montero for the week.

It was a crazy drive trying to find our Penthouse in Playa Potrero, but a nice restaurant/bar had some very inviting Karaoke when we rolled in that Clark just had to get down on. My headache definately made me feel like waiting until next time though.

Erics 26th Birthday Bash!

K so Erics real birthday is on the 15th of May, but that was on a Thursday. So... we threw him a party on Sunday. Who doesn't like get togethers on Sunday? I know i do! Anyway it was pirate themed, and i mailed out pirate invitations like he was a 5 year old, but that made it even funner. ALMOST everyone we invited came, so it was a great party! Here are some pics to enjoy.
