We have finally made it to Costa Rica! \"Costa-Rica-Sloth-Shore-300x225\"<\/a>After about 12 hours of traveling, we have made it to this beautiful country. We took a chartered bus to La Playa Blanca which gave us a great opportunity to see a lot of the country’s landscapes and ways of life.\u00a0I was amazed at how diverse the environment is here. We drove through a lot of mountains but we were also right next to the water. I knew Costa Rica was going to be a beautiful place to stay, but this is something out of a movie. We also got a chance to see some monkeys hanging out in the trees along the way. We were told that Costa Rica has about 5% of the world’s biodiversity and I can definitely see why. I’m really looking forward to what this amazing country has to offer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
