San Jose, Costa Rica

We arrived in Costa Rica yesterday and were amazed straight away by how friendly the people were (including the normally horrible customs staff!) The minute we stepped out of the airport we saw just how lush and green this country is. San Jose sits in the central valley basin and all aorund are breathtaking vistas of tropical rainforest and …

Keeping you updated!

A travel blog entry by ashleysblog

Well unfortunately there hasn't been much excitement these past two weeks. I have been laying pretty low on the weekends in an attempt to save some money for some travel that will be happening in the near future. I am excited to finally get out of the city next weekend for Thanksgiving. There is a group of us heading out to Tortuguero on Friday morning. It will be nice to enjoy a short week of school and spend some time out of the city. It will make this next week go my ...

I had an unfortunate event happen on the bus though. I basically begged the driver to let me do a toilet stop and as I was ...

... chance to do that this weekend. On Saturday morning a group of us hopped on a bus and headed to Jaco beach. This is a beach on the Pacific Ocean side that is only like 1.5 hours from San Jose. So it is really close and easy to get to. The bus only cost $4 each way so it is also really cheap! The beach was pretty nice. I feel like a beach snob after spending so much time in South East Asia where I was able to visit some of the nicest beaches in the world. Jaco was a pretty rocky beach ...
