Chasing down the Pura Vida

Hey ya'll --

Just got back from a phenomenal vacation with five dent school buddies to Costa Rica. I was there in August, but this trip was unparalleled. We saw spewing volcanoes and mountains, Tortoises and Manta Rays, pellicans, toucans and birds of prey, a family of monkeys and a waddle of wombats(?).

I drove a little Suzuki Sidekick from San Jose to Arenal, and from there around Lake Arenal to the Nicoya Peninsula, where we explored the Pacific beaches from Tamarindo. Here are a few pictures that will speak volumes about Costa Rica's natural beauty.

Thornhill Girls: DO NOT THINK FOR A MINUTE that a foreign trip every 3 or 4 months is NORMAL!!!!!! It is not.
