Travel --- 12/19/2012 - 1/19/2013 --- Costa Rica
A month in Costa Rica. Somewhat a repeat of the trip I took exactly three years ago, but I did my best to see new sights.
- One week traveling solo down the Caribbean coast. Cahuita and Cahuita National Park, Aviarios del Caribe Sloth Sanctuary, Puerto Viejo, Manzanillo, and Punta Mona.
- One week prepping for the COE tree climbing class with Tara, Colin, and Dave.
- Eleven days of the COE tree climbing class.
- One week traveling with Tara on the Western side of the country. Quepos, Manuel Antonio National Park, La Fortuna, and Arenal National Park.
