Hello from Arenal...
Finally! I{ll explain...
We started yesterday morning at the Four Seasons on Peninsula Papagayo, which is amazingly beautiful. We went out on the private beach and amazed everyone with our paddle ball skills. Our friend Percy, one of the cabana boys, would whistle at us everytime he saw any kind of animal and tell us all about it. It was hysterical, and informative! We then took a jetski out to see what we could see, until the storm came. And boy did the storm come!
It started raining around 1 pm and didn´t stop. We left Papagayo around 4 and started toward Arenal, the volcano and hot springs were our destination. We rented a car so we could come and go as we pleased...no longer within walking distance to everything. Well I (Kelli that is) told Leigh to turn the wrong way...completely mis-read the directions and took us right to the border of Nicaragua. The policia was not too pleased with us and spoke ZERO english. We said, Cañas? Which was the town we needed to turn at...and he said, ¨No! Nicaragua!¨ YIKES!!!! So, he let us turn around and after lots of rain, lots of curves, lots of climbing the mountains, we FINALLY ended up here in Arenal around 9. Should have taken 3 hours but, it made a great story.
We went to the hot springs for a little while last night, then went to bed so we could get up and see the Volcano this morning. We just ate breakfast and are heading back to the springs and then to La Fortuna to see the waterfall. It is only a 15 minute drive (so probably 2 - 3 hours for us). After that, probably head back to the beach. We have decided, the people who live in the beach towns are more our speed...slower, kinder, happier. We will be sure to let you know where we are and can´t wait to tell you about all of our adventures today...
Oh, and mom, it was Luis our surf instructor who called us the other night: )
Lots of love and fairy dust from CR...
