La Fortuna, Costa Rica

Stephanie eating Fish Casados, a local dish.


I have to say I've fallen in love with Casados. I've probably ordered it the past three times we've been out. Each one has been slightly different, yet still amazing. The first one had perfect pico de gallo and a fried egg on the rice. the one that Stephanie is mad grinning to had hash on the side. It's really cheap too!

Camping at the hostel.


So we spent the second night in one of these camping it out with sleeping bags. Kinda luxurious if you ask me but it was so comfy. All the windows and doors zip up. There's an outlet for power with a huge lantern on the side. At night it was pretty cool and refreshing compared to the humid and rainy day.

Baldi Hot springs at the bottom of Volcano Arenal.



So the main event of this day was to see Volcano Arenal. Sadly we only hiked up for about an hour to the base to look around for a bit before it started to rain on us. Arenal was mostly covered in clouds so no amazing pictures. Apparently a couple of months ago you could watch the lava flow down at night but it's fairly inactive right now. The second part of this day was to hit up the hot springs at the bottom of the Volcano. We went to the lesser of the two hot springs (the first being twice the price for all natural springs). But it was still worth it. They had crazy amounts of pools, all different shapes, sizes, and most importantly temperatures. I think we sat in one that was 113 degrees F. They had waterfalls, bars, and even water slides. there's a guy at the top of the water slide warning you that if anything happens to you it's not the resorts fault. You end up sliding down 45kilometers/hr(roughly 28mph) at one point.
