Puntarenas
This weekend we traveled to Puntarenas, a resort town of old that may have lost some of its former glory but is once again emerging as a vacation destination. Although, we didn't exactly dive head first into la vida costarricense, we instead enjoyed a weekend of relaxation at the all-inclusive Double Tree Resort. We mostly passed our time between the pools and the beach. Most of us have returned with sunburns and sore muscles from being tossed around by 10 foot waves in the Pacific Ocean. The weekend proved to be a great time for getting to know one another meeting a few "Ticos" along the way. Thankfully, we don't have classes on Monday, so we have yet another day to rehydrate and rest before the heart of the program begins.
Also, perhaps the most interesting thing we happened upon was a small mariposario or butterfly vivarium that houses butterflies in all stages of life as well as its own brightly colored toucan.
