Travel Missteps: The Lost Sunglasses x6
Showing off my new cute sunglasses! I was happy to find them the day before because I had already had one pair of sunglasses break (and ducktape wasn't enough to fix them), and I had left another pair at a hotel, and lost another pair. So this is sunglasses number 4 for a short trip. And I loved these glasses. Cute, cheap, but still polarized! Of course, they didn't last long. I tried to hold onto them as we all hung out in the waves. All it took was a huge wave and bam they were gone. I was forced

Travel Missteps: Kayak Misadventure
I have a love/hate relationship with kayaking. My previous experience being swept out to sea in Mexico (hate) and then a clam lake kayaking in Costa Rica (love). So when the opportunity to kayak in Bocas del Toro, Panama I was excited to love it again (spoiler...no I did not love it.) I had had a lazy morning, mostly because I could tell I was starting to feel sick. So when I bumped into some of the group heading back out to kayak I joined them. Kristy and Arianna had already kayaked that morning and they were excited to do it

Awkward Self-Timer
The good news was after a few attempts, I figured out how to work the self-timer. The bad news, I panicked and didn't know how to pose. Thus you get to see me awkwardly hug an ancient stone circle. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.

Montezuma Beach, Costa Rica
This beach is actually pretty treacherous for swimmers due to the sharp rocks, but boy does it look inviting. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.

Museum Monday: Stone Circle outside Museo Nacional de Costa Rica
At the Plaza de la Democracia y de la Abolición del Ejército there is this massive glass and metal circle. As I wandered around, inside I found a stone circle. Hundreds of these circles are found all over Costa Rica, and this one sits right outside the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica. They don't know why they were but they are from the Precolumbian era.

Just Relax
I'm heading to Costa Rica soon, for an action packed...wait that's not right. Oh yes, for a lazy, layabout trip. I cannot wait to sleep and read in some hammocks! Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.

Museum Monday: Jade Museum of Costa Rica
The old Jade Museum in San Jose, Costa Rica was dark, quite, and cramped. (It's since moved to a large 75,000 square foot museum in 2014.) I had heard from other travelers it was hard to get in as its hours would close randomly and at the whim of the guards. When I arrived, I was informed it was closed. After some back and forth they said that the staff was at lunch. I smiled and asked the guard if I could sit on the stool in front of his desk and wait. (I had nowhere else to go.) He

Souvenir Saturday: Waterfall Wood Art
The day after I injured myself while zip lining, I decided to hang around Montezuma while the rest of the group went on a road trip trying to find great beaches to hang out at. As I still had a minor concussion, I mostly just walked the small main street and shopped a bit. One store I went into was sort of a depressing tourist market, that sold stuff like sun glasses, swimsuits, and sunscreen. I was about to discount it when I saw this on the wall. I had to laugh, this depicted the rope swing at the waterfalls
