<span style="font-size: x-large;">This year we celebrated our 14th anniversary! I can't believe that next year it will be 15 years! Time sure does fly by when your having fun. In years past our tradition was to attend the Temple and either do a session or just take a picture on the Temple grounds. We weren't able to do a session this year, but I wanted to get some pictures taken with the family. It was a little different this year since we are living in Mexico City, but it was still a special experience. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">While here we visited the Martinez family that Gary knew when he served his mission. Brother Martinez use to be the branch president, but has been suffering from cancer for several years. His wife is a nurse so ever since she retired she has been taking care of him. I can imagine that it has been very hard on her and her family, but this selfless act was very touching to me. Before we left we had lunch with them which was very nice. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Gary surprised me with a trip up to Zacatlan for Mother's Day weekend! It is a beautiful little town just north of Puebla. This is also one of the beautiful areas that Gary served in as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! He rented us this really nice cabin to stay in for the weekend! It was small, but we managed to well enough. Dogs were allowed so we brought Zoe and Penny with us. They were happy to come along, but it was hard to visit certain places with them around. When we left them in the cabin they would bark and howl and the owners complained so we had to take them everywhere we went. We decided it wasn't worth it to bring them and that the next time we would send them to the excellent doggy camp they have close to Mexico City.</span></div>

I think it was some kind of stomach bug. I've never felt so miserable in my life. I knew something was wrong when I couldn't even walk down the hallway without stopping every foot or so. I felt so bad that I needed to go to the health center and get two IV drips, because I had lost so much water. I was at the health center for at least 5 hours. I came home with lots of medicine, but I still felt horrible the rest of the weekend. Shortly after I got sick so did Gary. We ate a lot of ramen and crackers for awhile. Our friends took Aurora to church so that we could get some much needed rest. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For Mother's Day weekend Gary wanted to take me to Zacatlan a beautiful city on top of a mountain. Before we reached our final destination we took a side trip to Apizaco. We didn't stay long, but it was a nice break to get out of the car and see the city a little. </span><br />

I received a lovely Easter dress in the mail that was a complete surprise to me that my sister Lara made for Aurora! It was super cute! Below are a couple of pics of the said dress.</span></div>

We were suppose to meet up at the embassy early in the morning and take the bus to the location, but Gary got the time wrong so we ended up missing the bus. Since we already paid for the excursion we decided to drive up ourselves and meet up with the group later. It was not how we had planned to go, but it actually worked out in our favor. Since we arrived later we were able to see the butterfly's moving around, because it was warmer and the sun had come out at the right time.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Apparently they make a new path every year depending on where the butterflies make their new home so the path was pretty narrow so it took a long time to move everyone up to the site. Unfortunately, that meant that we had to stand in line for about an hour which wasn't very fun, but luckily Aurora did really well despite the long wait. It helps to bring snacks along the way. ;)</span></div>

In February we drove to this beautiful Monastary which is located in the city believe it not. It reminds me of the beautiful places you can see in Maryland like the DC Arboretum which is near busy roads, but you would never know it when you walk around there. It was so quiet and peaceful here. The mature trees and beautiful flowers everywhere. It truly is a beautiful sanctuary! The air was cool and clean and it was a perfect oasis to get away for the day.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">They also have the island of the creepy dolls. Here is the legend of how it began if your curious.<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #222222; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.28px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">It belonged to a man named Don Julián Santana Barrera, a native of the La Asunción neighborhood. Santana Barrera was a loner, who was rarely seen in most of Xochimilco. According to the legend, Santana Barrera discovered a little girl drowned in mysterious circumstances in the canals. He also found a doll floating nearby and, assuming it belonged to the deceased girl, hung it from a tree as a sign of respect.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #222222; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22.28px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> After this, he began to hear whispers, footsteps, and anguished wails in the darkness even though his hut—hidden deep inside the woods of Xochimilco—was miles away from civilization. Driven by fear, he spent the next fifty years hanging more and more dolls, some missing body parts, all over the island in an attempt to appease what he believed to be the drowned girl's spirit.</span></span></span></div>

The next place we visited was a city that Gary served in called Ajalpan which is a city located southeastern part of the state of Puebla. When we got there and toured the city a little we decided to get something to eat. This taqueria place smelled good so I suggested we eat here. Unbeknownst to us one of the waiters was someone who Gary baptized back in 2001! Her name is Loren.</div>

On Sunday we went to church in Ajalpan which is amazing, because when Gary served here there was no chapel in the town! There was just a handful of people attending, but I think because of New Years a lot of people were gone. Gary was asked to share his testimony which was beautiful even though I couldn't understand all he was saying I could feel the spirit and know what he was saying was true. It truly was a humbling experience. The members here though few have very strong testimonies of Jesus Christ. After the meetings Gary got to visit with a couple of families in the ward who he knew and we got invited for lunch with Brother Miguel and his family. We followed them home and ate and chatted with them in their very humble home. </div>

In the evening we were also invited to another member's home to celebrate the New Year with them. Brother Gonzalez was very humble and so ready to give his shirt off of his back for anyone. He was so kind and generous! We learned that he was a bishop for I think about 6 years and according to Gary lived in a shack until about 6 months ago! The home he built for his family is nice, but still a concrete house with not much dressing. It made me appreciate all that I take for granted everyday. He not only invited us into his home, but then drove us over over to his parent's house where they were having a big celebration. We got to meet all of his family, eat a delicious meal and enjoyed great company. I we just amazed at how even though we were pretty much strangers how welcoming everyone was towards us. They just treating us like family it was such a wonderful thing to experience! Especially to me who still didn't speak Spanish very well! </div>

A Special New Year's Tradition</div>

In Ajalpan, they have a tradition to create an "old man" which is basically a scarecrow dressed in everyday men's clothing with a mask and beard. He is said to represent the old year. At the beginning of December each year the little old men will start to pop up on every street in town. They sit around in front of people's houses for about a month before the celebrations begin on New Year's Eve. Then as the sun sets, the old men are taken out to party. Some people drive them around town in their cars or in the back of their trucks. Some people dance around with the old men in the streets complete with DJ or traditional singing. Finally, once they have let the old man have his fun and on the stroke of midnight, they toss him into the middle of the street and LIGHT HIM ON FIRE!<br />
<br />
Here's where we mention, that not only is the old man built like a scarecrow (full of straw and newspaper), but he is also full of something else....FIRECRACKERS!<br />
<br />
So across town, at least one per block, you will see giant bonfires where the townsfolk are burning the old year to welcome in the new. And each of these bonfires is a swirling maelstrom of chaos, for from the belly of the fire emerge quickly erratically and without warning all of those firecrackers. Some shoot for the sky, some fly along the streets, while others whirl about unpredictably as onlookers scurry to avoid joining the immolation party. All throughout, people are lighting their own fire works, firecrackers, etc and lobbing them into the streets. Some people even light twirling sparklers mounted on paper maché bulls that some bold fellow wears on his head while running around the street like a lunatic! <br />
<br />
It is loud, chaotic, bright, terrifying, and oh so amazing.<br />
It is an fabulous tradition you truly have to experience first-hand.</div>

We left the day after Christmas day. It only took us about 2 hours to get there so we had plenty of time to explore the city. We stayed at a nice hotel that was once an apartment building. It was a fun place to explore.<br />

The Venus Temple that is also located underneath the roof contains two
murals on two columns of two figures. On the right column, there is a
male figure with a mask covering his face. He wears a skirt with the
Venus symbol on the front and has a scorpion tail. On the left, a
fragment of the other figure is visible, probably representing a woman
with a skirt also bearing a Venus symbol. The presence of Venus on the
garments of the figures and their representation around both of them
indicate that the murals allude to some astronomical phenomenon or
calendrical data associated with the planet Venus, which at that time
was related to warfare and sacrifice.</div>

Gary mentioned that they have improved this site tremendously since the last time he was here. It use to just have a dirt floor where people would defecate in it. Gross! I'm glad they decided to clean it up and make it a nice place to visit! This was the only good picture we could get of the two of us..haha</div>

January 2017Gary had a business trip to Puerto Vallarta which is a nice beach resort so Aurora and I tagged along for the ride. We left on the 22nd and came back on Friday. Gary had meetings till Wednesday, but then was able to spend the rest of the time with us. It was an all inclusive resort so it was nice not to have to worry about anything. We spent a lot of time hanging out at the beach. Aurora had fun playing with her toys, but she was most interested in the sand and eating it unfortunately... She didn't much like getting wet on the beach, but she had fun in the pool. We bought her a float to sit in and enjoyed going around the pool. In the evenings there was a certain theme each night. The first night we were there it was a Mexico fiesta night, lots of fun cultural dancing and singing. On the second night there was a special dinner for the employees on the beach which was nice. Everyone loved Aurora and loved spending time with her. The food was lovely. The third night was a western theme so they had singers who sang country songs and a mechanical bull that people could ride on. Our last night there was suppose to be a tropical night, but it didn't turn out to be anything special so we turned in early. Friday morning we took one last swim in the pool and Gary and I took turns going down the alligator slide. All and all it was a wonderful trip. I'm already missing it. Here are some pictures of our fun adventure.<br />

In December of 2016 Gary applied for a job in Mexico City and was offered the job to our surprise AND we had our baby girl in April of 2017! Here's a little background to how we ended up living in Mexico City. I honestly didn't think Gary had a chance of getting this job so I said go ahead and apply for it. Shortly afterwards he got word that he passed the first couple of hurdles which usually happens, but nothing ever comes of it normally so I wasn't that concerned. When he came home and told me he was offered the job I was shocked! We both were shocked! They literally gave us 48 hours to make a decision on if we wanted to take the job and move to Mexico City. It was stressful and crazy all at the same time. Gary's dream has always been to live in Mexico ever since he came back on his mission about 15 years ago. This was once in a lifetime chance for us to live "oversees" and we didn't want to pass this opportunity up. Our housing would be paid for and everything! After praying about it we made our decision to do it. I was of course worried about doing it since I would have a newborn and I didn't speak a lick of Spanish. We still had concerns, but we felt confident that we made the right decision. We didn't have a specific time we would be leaving, but we knew it would be somewhere in the summer. We decided to rent out our home for the time-being. I quit my job on March 10th and had our baby girl on April 3rd! It was a magical time with very little sleep and energy, but completely worth it! I can't imagine my life without her! We didn't end up leaving for Mexico City until August 9th. We had professional movers pack us out in 2 days which was crazy, but I'm glad we didn't have to do it ourselves. We lived in three different temporary housing waiting for our apartment to be ready which was crazy, but it was well worth the wait! Our first place was a little apartment on the ground floor which was nice, but nothing fancy. A cleaning lady would come everyday which was a bit of an adjustment, but it was nice to have a clean apartment! The next place we ended up staying at was unfortunately a hotel. A high-end hotel, but still a hotel.... The room was SO tiny especially when you factor in two dogs and a baby. The hotel provided a crib and even two doggy beds which was awesome! What wasn't so hot was every time I would just put the baby down for a nap the cleaning lady would come and wake her up! We stayed there for two weeks, but it felt like forever. The final place we stayed at for two months was just down the road from the hotel. It was a nice apartment that was so open and spacious! It was wonderful! In this apartment we received our air shipment so we got to have more of our stuff instead of just living out of our 12 bags/suitcases. The reason we had to wait so long to get into our permanent residence was because our place was undergoing a major renovation. They could of given us another place to live, but no one was moving out till October so we would of been moving in the following month anyway so we just decided to stick it out and get a new home. I'm so glad we did, because we literally have new flooring, tiling, kitchen appliances, bathrooms, etc. It was worth the wait! Our place is SO BEAUTIFUL! We would never be able to afforded this place on our own. We live in a super safe area where there is a guard on duty 24/7. We even have an L shaped patio where I can do a little gardening which is amazing! Here is a picture of it. <br />

We have now been in our new place for about a month now. We have been on several trips since we've been here including Tepoztlan, Oaxaca, Teotihuacan, Cholula, Tehuacan, Mixquic, Puebla,. I will post separate posts for each of these since we have lots of photos to share from each of these trips.<br />
<br />
Reasons why I love Mexico<br />
1) It is warm ALL year round! I can't tell you how lovely it is to go outside in the middle of January and it's 70-75 degrees outside! It feels like springtime all the time! We did get a couple of cold snaps, but for the most part it's been lovely here.<br />
2) Flora and Fauna- There are so many different species of plants and flowers here that I am enjoying very much. It's interesting, because there are both deciduous and coniferous trees, but then have palm trees as well!<br />

They look like baby doves that never get any bigger<br />
<br />
<br />
3) Artisan Markets - They are all over the place! You can usually find them near the Zocalo (City Square) They are always so colorful and fun to explore. Each town has at least one.<br />
4) The people are super friendly especially for someone like me who doesn't speak much Spanish.<br />
5) There are tons of ruins and archeology sites everywhere! A lot of sites are fairly close so we can make trips on the weekends so we can get out of the city pretty easily.<br />
6) Our church family has been a great support for me as we have settled into life here. We have already made friends and it's nice to talk to people in English although we haven't lived as many places as everyone else we feel loved. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Things that are not so great living here... <br />
1) Drivers here are CRAZY and it's downright scary driving here, but I have ventured out on my own and it has gotten better. I still don't like it, but Gary has adjusted quite well and as they say drives like a "Mexican"..heh. You know that line from "Pirates of the Caribbean" where Captain Barbossa says "The code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules" pretty much sums up the driving here.<br />
2) The language is hard to grasp. I'm still struggling a lot, but Gary and I are reading in Spanish to help me understand it better.<br />
<br />
The last one is kind of funny/sad. Mother's here really bundle up their babies with sweaters and jackets and blankets. It's ridiculous. If we don't dress Aurora up to a certain standard like wearing socks we tend to get a lot of judgemental looks. We normally joke about it when we are out and about, but I do really feel bad for the babies. They must be SO hot! It does get a little cool in the morning, but they just go overboard with everything. <br />
<br />
After living here for 6 months now I don't feel like a tourist anymore and it feels more like home.<br />

For my birthday, we decided to take a trip to Cholula, Puebla. We went to the Great Pyramid of Cholula also known as <b><i><span lang="nah">Tlachihualtepetl </span></i></b>(Nahuatl for "made-by-hand mountain") It is the largest archaeological site of a pyramid (temple) in the New World, as well as the largest pyramid known to exist in the world today. The pyramid stands 180 feet around the surrounding plain and measured 1,300 by 1.300 feet. The style of the pyramid has been linked closely to that of the Teotihuacan pyramids. Excavations have resulted in about eight kilometers of tunnels inside
the pyramid, which began with two in 1931 to prove that the hill was an
archeological find. Within, altars with offerings, floors, walls and
buried human remains from around 900 AD were discovered. Today, only
about 800 meters of these tunnels are open to the public, which have
been made into well-lit, arched passages. Because of the historic and religious significance of the church, which
is a designated colonial monument, the pyramid as a whole has not been
excavated and restored, as have the smaller but better-known pyramids at
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Teotihuacan">Teotihuacan</a>. If you are claustrophobic at all then this would not be a fun trip for you. It is very tight and has a fairly low ceiling. It wasn't to much of an issue for me, because I'm short, but Gary had to duck quite a bit and all the while carrying Aurora which took a toll on his back by the end of the tour.<br />

This is the courtyard of Altars where they would of done religious ceremonies. The area was mostly likely used for large, spectacular ceremonies as well as for rites associated with the passing of power.<br />

Under this metal roof is the largest pre-Columbian mural discovered in Mexico, with a total length of 187 ft. Unfortunately, this is as close as you can get. Stupid people have destroyed some of it so they have it blocked off now. I was disappointed, because I really wanted to see it.</div>

There is a small section of this Pyramid that is original, but the rest was designed by the archeologists who went about reconstructing this structure, using
commercially made cement, leading to the structure being called the
Tolteca pyramid, after the brand used. </div>

We left early in the morning so we could beat the crowds later on. I couldn't believe the magnitude of this place. It was so huge! It was pretty exhausting walking down on all of the pyramids and seeing all the sites. Here is a little history about Teotihuacan. <br />
At its zenith, perhaps in the first half of the 1st millennium AD,
Teotihuacan was the largest city in the pre-Columbian Americas, with a
population estimated at 125,000 or more,making it at least the sixth largest city in the world during its epoch.<br />
Apart from the pyramids, Teotihuacan is also anthropologically
significant for its complex, multi-family residential compounds, the
Avenue of the Dead and the small portion of its vibrant <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Mural">murals</a> that have been exceptionally well-preserved. Additionally, Teotihuacan exported fine obsidian tools that garnered high prestige and widespread usage throughout Mesoamerica.<br />
The city is thought to have been established around 100 BC, with
major monuments continuously under construction until about 250 AD.<sup> </sup>The city may have lasted until sometime between the 7th and 8th
centuries AD, but its major monuments were sacked and systematically
burned around 550 AD.<br />
Teotihuacan began as a new religious center in the Mexican Highlands
around the first century AD. This city came to be the largest and most
populated center in the pre-Columbian Americas. Teotihuacan was even
home to multi-floor apartment compounds built to accommodate this large
population.<sup> </sup> The term Teotihuacan (or Teotihuacano) is also used for the whole civilization and cultural complex associated with the site.<br />
Although it is a subject of debate whether Teotihuacan was the center of a state empire, its influence throughout <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Mesoamerica">Mesoamerica</a> is well documented; evidence of Teotihuacano presence can be seen at numerous sites in <span style="color: black;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Veracruz">Veracruz</a></span> and the Maya region. The later <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Aztecs">Aztecs</a>
saw these magnificent ruins and claimed a common ancestry with the
Teotihuacanos, modifying and adopting aspects of their culture. The
ethnicity of the inhabitants of Teotihuacan is also a subject of debate.
Possible candidates are the <span style="color: black;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Nahua peoples">Nahua</a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Otomi people">Otomi</a> or <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Totonac">Totonac</a></span> ethnic groups. Scholars have also suggested that Teotihuacan was a multi-ethnic state.<br />
The city and the archaeological site are located in what is now the <span style="color: black;"><a class="mw-redirect" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="San Juan Teotihuacán">San Juan Teotihuacán</a> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Municipalities of Mexico">municipality</a> in the <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Mexico (state)">State of México</a>, approximately 40 kilometers (25 mi) northeast of <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="Mexico City">Mexico City</a>.

In October we traveled to a little town called San Andres Mixquic is best known for its Day of the Dead celebrations, which consists of both ritual and cultural events lasting from October 31 to November 2nd. These events draw thousands of Mexicans and international visitors each year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we got there early in the morning the town was pretty empty, but by the time we left there were a ton of people. The only unfortunate thing that happened on this trip was that I lost my brand new cell phone. :( We looked all over the place, but with all the crowds it was impossible to find it anywhere. Here are a few pictures of the town and a couple of the events that we saw go on.</div>

Cemetery where families would lay flowers on the graves of their loved ones. Families would then gather round the grave and talk about memories of the decreased. It really is kind of beautiful. There were so many flowers! Everything was covered with them! </div>

Closer to home we celebrated the Day of the Dead with getting our faces painted and looking at everyone's costumes and face-painting. There was suppose to be a march downtown, but we never figured out where we were suppose to go for that so we just stayed where all the festivities were going on. <br />

While we were waiting in line to get our faces painted Aurora was getting fussy, but there was no where to sit to feed her so I just laid my bag down on the ground to and sat down to do it. I guess I must of looked like a beggar, because a guy wanted to give me 10 pesos. I told him I didn't want it and he moved on. When I mentioned it to Gary he even said I looked like one..lol<br />

We weren't going to get Aurora's face done, but I'm so glad we did!</div>
She looked so cute! (Also, this lady was in love with Aurora! Her makeup was extensive. I can't imagine how long it took her to take it off...lol<br />

We were briefly interviewed by Mariana Ochoa, a pop singer from OV7 (very popular in the late 90s). Apparently she does a vlog on YouTube. I think they mostly just wanted to get a shot of Aurora honestly,..heh. It was fun though. Gary did most of the talking. <br />

It’s known as the birthplace of Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec feathered serpent god, and for its weekly craft market. A steep trail leads to the Aztec Tepoztlan pyramid, on a clifftop above the town<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. </span></span>We left the embassy early in the morning so we could get there early and climb up to the pyramid. It was a hike! It was steep and curvy at times. It's a beautiful climb, but rigorous. The pyramid is literally one one of the tall peaks so at the end of the hike you have to climb on stairs to get there. Once we reached the top there wasn't much left of the pyramid, but the view was amazing so it made it worth it. Here are some pictures of our adventure.<br />

Monteverde and Santa Elena have so much to do that we really could have spent a lot longer here and still not seen everything. This area is so beautiful and so quiet. It is a hidden gem, way up in the mountains. We would highly recommend it to any one who wants to do ecotourism.</div>

While we were there we visited the REAL "Rainforest Cafe" in Santa Elena.</div>

This place is a bit pricey but it was well worth it.<br />
<br />
One of our favorite places (does that phrase have any meaning anymore?) was the Hummingbird Park in the Monteverde preserve. Tucked away from the main entrance of the park there is a little clearing with a cute stone patio and dozens of hummingbird feeders all around.<br />
<br />

We took another tour through the cloud forest, this time in the Santa Elena Reserve so that we could experience the hanging bridges in full glory. It was awesome!</div>

The bridges are well made, but still a little scary for the acrophobic among us. You can see right through the metal grate that makes up the floor and you can see where said metal grate was patched from time to time (some patches were quite large).</div>

Beautiful Sunset! Looking down from the cloud forest out toward the Pacific Ocean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having seen what the cloud forests had in the daytime, we decided that it might be fun to try our luck at catching sight of the wildlife at night. So we signed up for a Night Hike at the International Children's Eternal Rainforest Preserve. This land was purchased by students in another country in order to save the forest from the encroachment of local farming and industry. We saw a lot a neat animals and our guide was very personable.</div>

After our last night in Monteverde, we packed up the Sky House and hit the road again. It was a pretty quick drive compared to the trip to the coast. Our last destination was a town called San Pedro. The house we rented there was the nicest of the three. It was a shame that we were
only there for a couple of days. It was nestled in the hills about 15 minutes outside of San Pedro. The neighborhood up there was basically an American hideaway. We met an elderly lady who boasted that she had been there for 7 years and didn't speak a word of Spanish. While here we hiked Arenal Volcano and enjoyed the La Fortuna waterfall.</div>

Once we were settled in to the new house we ventured out to the little town of La Fortuna. The town sits at the foot of the Arenal Volcano and is a jumping off point for many different adventure opportunities. Our first adventure of the day was to hike the trails around the Arenal Volcano. Apparently there are several sections of trail owned by different groups. We thought we were in the national park section, until we paid and found out that no, this was privately owned. It turned out just fine though, because the section that we hiked was really fun and quite pretty.</div>

The trail started us out head down a slope, past some farmland. It eventually wound around a beautiful (but mosquito infested) swamp/lake/pond. </div>

After our hike we drove around the lakefront area and encountered some very quaint little villages clinging to the sides of the mountains and overlooking the lake. There is so much to do in this area, it is a shame we only had one day to enjoy it. Next time we need to take a month off....<br />
<br />
We returned to La Fortuna to shop and eat. There isn't much to see in town, but there are some cute little trinket shops and a decent burger joint. The town is really just there for tourists.<br />

While in La Fortuna we found a map that mentioned a waterfall just outside of town. Now, if we haven't mentioned this before, maps in Costa Rica are pretty unreliable. However, as usual we just set out in the general direction that we expected it to be and found it without too much trouble. The waterfall was definitely worth the effort. It was a good last adventure for our trip. </div>

We spent the afternoon splashing about in the frigid water until it
started to pour rain down on us. After waiting a little under a covered bridge, we decided to just climb the stairs back to our car. Since we were already soaked and
wearing our swimsuits, we weren't really to worried about the
downpour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We returned in the dark, pouring rain, and fog to our gorgeous little rental property, then ventured out to visit San Pedro. This town is a little gem of a place. It was definitely worth the 3 or 4 times we visited it in the 2 days we were in the area. The central park (zocolo-like) area by the Cathedral was a lovely spot to sit and people watch. One of the best parts of San Pedro, however, was the bakery. We have no pictures of the breads that we bought because they were too delicious to waste a moment on photography. However, in lieu of bread pictures we will leave you with a parting shot of the San Pedro Cathedral.</div>

While I loved Puerto Viejo I have to say that Monteverde was my favorite part of our trip. The views were just spectacular and the wildlife simply amazing! We left the coastal lowlands and wound our way into the higher altitudes. They are both jungles, but very different types with very different climates. As we drove higher into the mountains, we entered the Cloud Forest. It is a cool, wet jungle that is regularly bathed in mists and, you guessed it, clouds.</div>

We climbed the road which was part gravel, part paved until we reached a
fork in the road. At that point, we saw a construction worker blocking
the way which we needed to travel. Apparently the road was closed
between 9am and 5pm. We would either have to wait 3 hours for the road
to open up again, or drive around the back way.</div>

This took us though a cute little town called La Junta before sending us up one of the steepest mountain roads that I have ever driven on. Luckily the road was paved for the most treacherous portion of the journey. However, as soon as the road flattened out, or the threat of imminent death waned just a little, the road would suddenly turn to gravel. </div>

<b>Fun Fact:</b><br />
</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Birds
drop seeds of strangler figs from the sky into trees in dark forests,
making these unusual plants grow, at first, from the top in a downward
direction. Most plants and trees grow from the ground up. The roots of
the strangler fig slowly grow down and then up, until they surround the
tree, actually squeezing it until it dies and hollows out.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: x-small;">Fun Fact: </span>In Costa Rica, you can find more than 800 of the earth's 20,000
or so species of ferns. These plants require certain environmental conditions,
including moist soil and air, protection from cold temperatures and the
right amount of filtered light and shade. The conditions in the rain
and cloud forests of Costa Rica are ideal for ferns to thrive.</h4>

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: x-small; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">Fun Fact: Epiphytes are also known as "air plants” as they have no attachment to the ground. They instead root themselves to other trees or plants in Costa Rica and derive their moisture and nutrients from the air and rain. Orchids, mosses, ferns, lichens, and bromeliads are just a few of the families of epiphytes that can be found in Costa Rica.</span></b></h2>

I was hoping to get our trip blogged a while ago, but with all the holiday's it was a little tricky.<br />
I am determined to get it done today so here it goes.<br />
<br />
Cahuita, Costa Rica <br />
On Friday, we took a lovely stroll through Cahuita National Park. It was beautiful, but the best part was seeing all the Capuchin monkeys! About 30 feet from the Caribbean coast, there was a gorgeous path through the jungle. We marveled at all the beautiful sites. For about 30 minutes we didn't see any wildlife, just tons of plants. Then all of a sudden, we came across a veritable monkey highway. A troop of at least 10 monkeys passed above and around us, running through the trees across our path. It was awesome!<br />

On the way back from Cahuita we stopped off at another lovely beach. We had passed this one several times so far because the main road went right past it. This time we stopped for a bit of good old fashioned exploring. This beach reminds me a little bit of the Oregon coast, except with more foliage.</td></tr>

<span style="font-size: small;">We drove up this mountain to a tiny little village that supposedly had local art, but we never found any. However, the view was spectacular, though the pictures don't do it justice. Along with the view we did get to experience a lot of the local roads (including numerous pot holes), but we did run into cute little towns as well. This was a big banana plantation area. Every time we crested a hill, there were bananas as far as the eye could see.</span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u></u></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></td></tr>

On the other side of that river is Panama. We never made it over there, but we saw it!<br />
<br />
<br />
At one point during the trip I suggested we check out this river that we
found. It save me from experiencing more motion sickness and get some
fresh air and an opportunity to check out the beautiful sites.We parked in a little bit of grass along the side of one of the creeks and made our way down the rocky banks to the main river.</div>

<b>Manzanillo </b><br />
<br />
On Saturday, we decided to travel to Manzanillo. It amazes me how different and beautiful each place is that we visited. We went in the early morning when all was quiet and it was just breathtaking. I didn't want to leave. There were spots all over where you could camp and have a fun weekend.<br />

</ul>
In October 2014, the Looney Lougees took a 10-day trip to Costa Rica for our 10th Anniversary. We have an overload of pictures this trip, so we will be breaking this into bite-sized sections. Hope you enjoy!<br />
<br />
In part one, we will explore the Caribbean Coast, south of Limon, near the small town of Puerto Viejo.<br />
<br />

This is the car we rented for our adventure! We took this little mini-SUV all over the country, logging over 1000 miles over the 10 days. It was good to us, especially on all those dirt roads, but it did not have much get up and go. Passing cars on the highway was always exciting.<br />
<br />
It took us 7 hours to get from the airport to our first rental property.
We may or may not have gotten lost in the capital city of San Jose for
the 2 hours before we finally found the highway... <br />

You see the mosquito net and immediately think, "ick...bugs". However, that couldn't be further from the truth. We did not see a single solitary mosquito the whole time we were at this cabin. We were, however, glad for the peace of mind.</div>
