Our View from the Airplane as we were landing in San Jose, Costa Rica...

this is the beach that is on the other side of the National Park ... Cheryl took this awesome picture of the surf rollin in...This is a picture of where Cheryl and I were right before we got robbed... we stopped at this market in Quepos to get some Ice cream and water... so we passed it on our way to meet our group to go ziplining and HAD to take a picture for old times sake....

Yea.. so this was me ziplining and I got stuck right before i got to the platform so I had to turn around and pull myself up the cable, backwards, and Cheryl was already on the platform so she snapped a quick picture of me! haha..looks weird huh??

so we were gettin a cute girls picture until matt decided to come in and sprawl out and ruin it !!!! hahah just kidding, everyone loves matt!!!

This was obviously taken on the same night, at the Lounge, we decided to go shake our butts!!! :)

this is a picture of me and the lil kids that were at our host family house, they were Margherita's grandkids and she kept them everyday while their parents worked.... a lil sidenote, the little boy would crawl around and eat watermelon and get all sticky and then go out side on the patio and get in the dirt and then he wanted to pull up on my WHITE pj pants, and yes they are still dirty because we currently have not washed any of our clothes...pretty awesome huh?!?!

and this is a picture of me and this guitar player guy, from austin, at banco bar in Quepos, this was on our very 1st night here, pre robbery...this was our group from our school that went to zipline ... and yes, i am definitely the shortest one!!
