Costa Rica!

Ahh paradise. I just got back from a 10 day (and some unplanned travel days) trip to Costa Rica and it is probably my new favorite place on. We traveled around a lot so we got to see different climates like the rainforest, cloud forest, a temperate forest, and the beach! I went with a school trip so a bunch of my friends went and I also got to know a lot of new people.

There's not much to report in the way of fashion because I was wearing t-shirts, running shorts, and rain boots most days, accesorized by binoculars and a flashlight. On the last night we went out to dinner and got a little dressed up. I wore this floral print dress I bought earlier that day at a shop by the beach. It's a little too tropical to wear to school, but I have plenty more beach opportunities this summer. At the nearby shops I also got a cool backpack and a gorgeous necklace that I'll be posting here soon.

Costa Rica is a beautiful country filled with kind, welcoming people and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to visit. I learned a lot about tropical ecology, got to practice my Spanish and enjoyed the time away from my normal life. I hope to go back some day but for now I'll try to live by the Costa Rican life motto: Pura Vida!
