After a day of travel from Cusco, Peru we are now in COSTA RICA! Our last country before we go home. It's strange to have such an enormous build up to an event and then have it almost be over. So much planning, saving, anticipation. It was all worth it and Costa Rica is just going to be the icing on the cake.
Cusco and the Sacred Valley were amazing. After a week in the area we pretty much had it memorized. The people are friendly (especially the little boys trying to sell you their wares), the food is great (alpaca, trout, stuffed avocadoes, guinea pig, etc) and the atmosphere is unbeatable.
Halloween was fun, I almost got trampled by kids when I started passing out candy in the main Plaza (it was a ridiculous mosh pit of masks, hands and parents), we "partied" at a bar (ran out of money after one drink) and were asleep by 10. Ha. I like how Cusco gets down, though. The kids were out hustling for candy till all hours.
The day after Halloween Tony and I decided to make a food item as close to a Chipotle Burrito as possible (he had been craving them for days). We ventured over to the open-air food market to see if we could find everything we would need. We did and the end result was a very tasty food item somewhat resembling Chipotle. We were very proud of ourselves.
Costa Rica looks promising, and we're excited. We leave San Jose (after just one night) for Arenal (one of the most active volcanos in the world) and the hot springs for a few nights, and the rest is up in the air.
I can almost smell the turkey now...
see you in 18 days!
