It’s Christmas break from teaching, which means I get to catch up on my blog posts! I had the fantastic opportunity to go to Costa Rica over my fall break in October and visit my friend Ali, who lives just outside of San Jose. Here are some photos from my time there. It was so fun to see some of the sights of the area and to see Ali’s life in action. We finished the trip with a fun trip to Panama, which I’ll post about soon.

The fantastic view of San Jose from Ali’s place.

The walk up to the volcano which was sadly covered by clouds the whole time we were up there. 🙂

Love the details on this leaf!

What the leaf looks like when it’s not spread out.

Hummingbirds at the La Paz Waterfall Gardens. Those creatures are not easy to capture in photos!
