Volcano Arenal

Okay, so if you don't already know, Arenal is famous for the volcano that the town surrounds.

It is one of the only active volcano here in Costa Rica and while you can't always see lava, you can usually hear the rocks tumbling down the sides of the volcano. It was super cool to hear the sound, similar to thunder, but more impressive.

The clouds are present 90% of the time which limits visibility, however, Joanie and I were in the lucky 2% of people that actually got to see some lava flowing down the volcano. What a strange site to these two little country girls! It was a really cool experience.

We both loved our guide but hated our group for the tour that we did and would have maybe enjoyed a different type of experience, but it was just that, an experience.

We were happy to be moving on however to the final destination of Manuel Antonio the next day. Traveling in Costa Rica proved to be exhausting as a bus trip tends to take from 4-6 hours if you are lucky. We just needed some sand between our toes and the sun in our hair and life would be good...
