Spring Break

This spring break I had the opportunity of visiting Costa Rica for 2 weeks. I went with my family and we stayed in an all inclusive 4 star resort on the shores of the Papagayo Bay on the Pacific side. Some people like watching the scenery or taking tours to view the country side. Although I partook in these sorts of activities my favorite experiances lie in the thrills of doing things that just make your jaw drop. Well, those, and beach party nights and meeting new friends.

One of the most memorable adventures I have had while on vacation was riding the ziplines this year. We went to 2 separate locations on different tours. The first was a short ride; it was just nice to do it again. The second was truely astonishing. The one zipline was a kilometer long!! Also, there were a few just shorter than that, but you still could hear the screams from people. My mom freaked when I started bouncing the longest zipline (you have to ride it in pairs), some of the terms she used are not appropriate for this blog. Needless to say I was laughing the whole time. Looking down from about 500 feet up at some of the most beautiful scenenery in the country is definatley an experiance I will never forget.

However much fun tours and activities can be there still isn't anything that can compare to meeting new people. I met some friends down there that just make the time spent so much more enjoyable. The whole resort becomes a playground. From pool volleyball, to the bar, to beach parties and the disco; everything became a blast. The way I interacted with these newfound friends; nobody would ever guess that we only met a week ago. When it comes time to leave everyone is sad that we have to part ways; that there will be no more 2 am party nights with an all inclusive bar handing out vodka shots and Sex on the Beach like it was water. The good thing is I will always have the memories of the time we spent together and the fun and crazy things we did; but the best thing is the few secret things myself, and only myself (and the few buds who were there) will ever know. It is those memories that make the holiday awesome and bring a smile to my face every time I think back.
