Part II: The Do's and a few Don'ts to traveling in Costa Rica

Hate to start this off with a DON'T, but I'm going in order here.

DON'T: waste your money on Baldi hot springs. Very cool to feel several different pools naturally heated by the Volcano itself, but the vibe here is all wrong. There isn't anything fun about swim up bars without bartenders, towels that cost money to rent and the general ickyness of the place. Save up your money and go to Tabacon instead.



DO: feed cute stray cats at restaurants. They will likely crawl into your lap and on your purse!! (This is Sofia and she lives at the Lava Lounge in La Fortuna)

DO: Order Coca Cola from the bottle.


DON'T: stay at Clarita's Beach Hotel in Jaco. Sorry Clarita's, but you are a glorified hostel and I don't enjoy hearing the people in the rooms next to me cough let alone, um, other things.


DO, DO, DO!: Go to Quepos and Manual Antonio National Park and beach. This town hands down was one of the best places we visited and home to the yummy Cafe Milagro coffee. We went to a few beaches around Costa Rica and this was the cleanest.



P.S. Happy 60th birthday to my Dad! I love you.
I would post a cool old photo of you but my laptop has a virus and Jon took it in to the shop today.
