spontaneity and babies.

This past weekend, Jessica (who proudly carries the same name as my car) and I went on an adventure with no plans whatsoever. We left early Saturday morning on a bus from San Jose. From there, we went to Playa Hermosa, which had the biggest waves i have ever seen in my life. There was a surf competition going on, and the world cup for surfing was held there last year! From there, we took a bus to Quepos and found a jungle hotel in Manuel Antonio. We got there around 4 pm, explored the beach, and came across several monkeys and a sloth. We had a delicious dinner by the beach, and then headed to bed. 7:00 pm, no problem. The next morning we woke up and could see the sunrise through the trees in our hotel. We took an early trip to a bakery and the beach before exploring the Manuel Antonio national park. We spent the afternoon on the beach, and then took buses back to San Jose!
In our unplanned bus trips to unplanned locations with no hotel reservations, it truly was a weekend of spontaneity, thinking (in spanish, of course) on our feet, and oh so much fun!

In an effort to pack lightly, I didn't bring my big camera this weekend and very much regretted it. Here are some pictures anyway...





Baby Felipe was born yesterday! I visited Johanna, Pablo & Felipe in the hospital last night, and they came home as a beautiful new family of three this morning. So many more pictures to come very soon.





I only have nine more days in Costa Rica, and it feels like I just got here. If the rest of my summer wasn't so exciting, I'd probably be pretty sad to leave.
