Costa Rica

I’m leaving for Costa Rica tomorrow! I’m really excited. I’d be even more excited if, for every one person to whom I mention the trip and get the response “hey, that’s awesome, I’m sure you’ll have a great time,” there weren’t three other people warning me that Costa Rica is where their friend/sister/chiropractor had his/her identity/backpack/car stolen.
That’s okay, though. I’m still psyched. How can you not want to visit a country with rainforests and volcanoes and beaches where you can watch the sun rise over the Caribbean, then drive a few hours to watch it set over the Pacific?
Have a great week, North America. I’ll write you when I get back.
