Five Things

June 24th, 2011

{Morning ritual: coffee + newspaper by the pool}

Our trip to Costa Rica has been incredible. The people, the beaches, the food…I want to pack it all up in my suitcase and bring it home. We’re here for two more days, with a packed schedule that includes zip-lining, coffee tasting and some community outreach. I look forward to sharing more about my experiences next week. In the meantime, here are five (Costa Rican) things currently making me happy.

{Friendship bracelets that would look great with some gold beads}

{Everything tastes better here; even Frosted Flakes Zucaritas}

    I just went to Costa Rica in March-and loved everything you loved! The people are so amazing, and zip-lining had to be my favorite. :)

    I studied abroad in Argentina and ate so many Zucaritas, they totally did taste better. So did the Doritos. I’ll never know.

    I love having rituals during holidays because it creates the illusion you will be there forever..

    I love your blog website:) I’m glad you loved my country – and i believe it is one of the most beautiful places in the world, however i also believe that every place has it’s charm and beauty. You should definitely pass by La Fortuna, San Carlos, Poás and maybe even pass by the beaches of Península de Osa and even Limón which is a magical place. Wish you the best on your travels and endevours!

    Aww, totally stayed at the Four Seasons “Penninsula de Papagayo” a few years ago with family! LOVE. The best part was either the sunset hike or the double beaches on each side of the hotel. Looks like you had a fab time as well. xx

    I actually tried making the caprese kabobs, and it’s not such a good idea. They are hard to eat. You can’t really get a full bite of mozzarella, basil and tomato.
