Costa Rica to Panama and Back Again


Our return to Toronto is fast approaching, but we thought we´d add one last entry.

After Tamarindo, we visited Quepos. It´s a small town about 6 hours south of Tamarindo. It´s a short bus ride away from a beautiful national park called Manuel Antonio. We saw so much wildlife there! Monkeys and tucans and sloths...oh my.
The beaches there were some of the best we´ve seen in our three months.

We also ended up spending a week in Panama on the Bocas del Toro islands! We met up with our Irish friend Ellie there and had a blast! Surprise, surprise, we visited MORE beaches! (Don´t you just HATE us?) We went dolphin watching one day. Our boat driver really knew what was up! He drove the boat around in circles and we got to see the dolphins jump and play in the wake. It was incredible!

And here we are, back in San Jose, Costa Rica and really loving the city! We´ve spent so much time in small towns and villages that being in the city is really fun. Throughout the trip we´d take buses into major cities and high-tailed it out to surrounding towns. I think being here is making us miss Toronto a little and the bustle of city life. It´s perfecting timing because we fly out on Saturday!

Even though we´ll be in Ontario for the summer, we plan on keeping up our entries while we´re at camp. So if you´re not completely bored of our blog, you can check it out! Thanks for all your responses and emails during our trip!

We can´t wait to see all of you again!

It has been fantastic to follow your trip through this blog and to live vicariously through you 2 a little. :)
Hoping to see you before you head up to the Muskies. Give me a ringy dingy if you can!
Sending big hugs and smooches!

Hello you beautiful couple!! Missing you so much my heart hurts! And incredibly jealous of your time in Costa Rica. Andy and I loved our time there so much. so we have been in NEw Brunswick and that is why I didn't get back to you in time because we were wedding planning and ignoring all forms of contact with the outside world. Isn't the zipline terrifying? Isn't the country beautiful? Don't you miss me? so I am sure everyone is asking you this question but WHEN CAN I SEE YOU??? So much love and wonderful thoughts to you both!
