Our First Few Days of Costa Rica

We flew to San Jose, Costa Rica and spent the night near the airport.  The next day was a long day because we traveled for 5 hours to get to Dominical which is where our house is.  I'm glad we are out of the cold and are now in a tropical rainforest.

​​The house looks like a treehouse because there is a lot of living space outside.  It is built into a hill which is great because we have a perfect view of the mountains, ocean and jungle!  There is a pool which is the perfect temperature, no chlorine and I practiced snorkeling in it too.  I thought the house was going to be terrible because my mom kept saying, "Don't get your hopes up."  But it ended up being beautiful.    

​Just on the first day we saw 4 toucans, geckos and a lizard.  The lizard is called a basilisk and is special because it can literally run on water!  I'm looking forward to seeing other unique animals.
