Day 2

Today is our first full day in Costa Rica. We are in San José, the capital of Costa Rica. We walked around the city and learned about its history and how important coffee has been to their success. Then visited a market where all the locals go to shop. (Like a farmers market).  We ended that with a short walk in the city.

We then started our very, very long journey on the bus to Arenal. We made some stops at El Jardín to do some shopping and to check out their magnificent gardens. We continued our very long and windy trip through the mountains. 

The trip was worth it when we arrived at the hot springs in La Fortuna. There were about 20 of them and the higher on the mountain you went up, the hotter they got. There were slides into the hot springs as well. The night ended with a nice dinner and bed shortly after because the hot springs put you right to bed.
