The agriculture police AND bears wanted our food!

Our second big trip of the year was by car over the week of July 4th. We wanted to save our skymiles and get out on the open road. So we packed the car full or camping, hiking and biking gear and hit the road, destination: California.

Don't wear your sunglasses around the monkeys!

So to catch up on our travels I thought I would post an entry about our trip to Costa Rica. Wes and I needed a break from Europe and wanted to see something more, ehhh, scenic. So we booked a trip through GAP adventures, a lower budget tour operator. They provide transportation to the different cities, Eco-friendly hotels and some activities. This was the first trip we had done together that was considered a tour.

Wes and I arrived in San Jose a day late, we got grounded in Jackson, Mississippi while horrible thunderstorms cycled around Atlanta like a car wash (for four hours.) We were hoping to have more time in San Jose, but it ended up being OK since it was the day before Easter and a lot of businesses were closed.
