Costa Rican Beauty

Volcán Arenal 

Hope came for a visit to Costa Rice at the end of June.  It was a time a of joy for us, 

and we were able to travel to Volcán Arenal.  While staying at Arenal, 

we were struck with the incredible beauty of Costa Rica.

                            

Look at the size of this fern leaf

Now that rainy season has started, the plants are lush and bright.  

La Fortuna Waterfall

We hiked down about 500 hundred steps to the bottom of the waterfall.  It was breathtaking! The beauty and the roar of the waterfall captured us, and we were in awe of the artistry and power of God.

It felt surreal being in the midst of all this!  Although we don't get to enjoy nature like this in the city where we live, we are blessed to venture out once in a while to enjoy it.

In an area that's part of the compound where we stayed, we were able to see some interesting creatures.  One evening just before dark a howler monkey made quite a racket.  

Glad there was fence around this guy!  He was just cooling off.

Come visit and we will enjoy together!!!
