After a night of sleeping and listening to the amazing sounds of the jungle I went out onto our deck and in a tree not to far away was this 4 ft. iguana. It was not neat to see and it was huge.
Just walking around the resort where we were staying there were a lot of different animals. This one you could get really close to and it didn't even bother it.
The monkeys where amazing. They were all over the place and very entertaining to watch. We could have sat and watched them all day. They were really cute.
After a great breakfast we decided to take a walk through Manueal Antonios national park and what we saw there was amazing and we really felt like we were living in the National Geographic channnel. I can't wait to bring the kids back because they would love to see all the different animals and insects. This one is a sloth and they really do move as slowly as you think. LOL
This is not a picture that I was too excited about taking but you will do anything for you kids. This spider was huge it was about 2 1/2" long and wide. It was a little scary and thankfully in the jungle and not in my room. The web from this spider is used when making bullet proof vest. It was very interesting.
These are the howler monkeys. They sound like barking dogs and are pretty need to see, but loud.
After a long walk through the park you come to this private beach that is beautiful and the water was so calm. This is definitely one of the most beautiful places that we have ever been. I loved it.
You just can't resist a monkey chilling in the shade. :)
After some time in the water we were back on our walk and looking for some were to eat our lunch and we thought that we had found the perfect place until these little critters came along. These are Costa Rican racoons. They are a little bit smaller than our north american ones but just as persistant when it comes to wanting your food. We had to keep moving and find a place where they weren't. LOL
I really can't say more to the beauty that we saw. I really can't wait to go back here again. I just need to say how amazing the people were. It was not at all like Mexico. It was very clean, we cold drink the water, and the people were so friendly and willing to help. It was great.
After a wonderful morning of exploring it was time to get ready for Jamie's cousins wedding which was the reason for coming to Coasta Rica. This is while we were waiting for the wedding to begin.
We were so lucky to be invited to this beautiful wedding of Peter and Candi. The setting was amazing and they are a wonderful couple and we wish them all the best in the future. They have already had some great adventures together and I don't doubt that there will be many more.
The reception was wonderful. Again the setting was amazing. They had a live band there and they were really good. We had a great time. Thank you Candi and Peter for the invite and showing us this beautiful country of Costa Rica. I always joke now and say that for my next wedding I am going to have it in Costa Rica. LOL Thankfully I found the love of my life and pray that we will have many more years together and so instead of getting married in these places we can just go and experience them together. :)
