Arenal Volcano & more

  I am linking up with Linses Cotton's  Scenic Weekend 

August 31, 2013

Happy Labor Day weekend!

I thought I would do a post on one of my favorite places,  it has been awhile since I have done a travel and Scenic Weekend post. Working full time it has been hard to keep up two blogs so my Travel blog has been ignored. I hope to do more posts in the future.

Some of my other post on Costa Rica



These photos are from my archives and from our trip to Costa Rica. I have to say Costa Rica was my favorite country to visit. I would go back in a NewYork minute. Above is a beautiful scene showing the Arenal Volcano.



We had a great view of the Arenal Volcano from the overlook.It is an active young volcano. It is located about 55 miles from San Jose, Costa Rica.



We had a great tour at the Arenal Hanging Bridge reserve. A beautiful place to visit and I enjoyed the hanging bridges. Along our swinging bridge walk we saw a small python, heard a lot of birds and saw some critters called Coati. I would love to go back to the Hanging Bridges just to take their bird tour and wildlife walk.


I am also sharing some of the scenery from our travels along the roads in Costa Rica. I believe in the distance is Lake Arenal which is a reservoir for hydroelectric power.




Beautiful green rolling hills with the turbines at the top. There was so much to see in Costa Rica, I especially love the lush green rainforest areas.

I hope you enjoyed my scenic weekend.  I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend.

Costa Rica..Watery Wednesday

A visit to the Baldi Hot Springs was included in our trip and tour of Costa Rica. It seemed similiar to the water parks we have here in the states. There was even a water slide. The difference being some of the 30 pools had HOT water, we saw signs at the pools ranging from 102 to 152 degrees. They recommend cooling off the the colder water pools. The Baldi Hot Springs are safely located out of the risk zone of the Arenal Volcano. My hubby enjoyed them, but the only hot water I like is in the bath tub. I had to take a shot of the Volcano while I was walking around the lovely gardens they have on the grounds.

Costa Rica. Fortuna

Hubby and I recently spent ten days in Costa Rica on a Caravan tour. Two of the nights were spent at a great location in Fortuna. I am going out of order these are days 5 and 6 of our ten day vacation. Our room had a great view of the Arenal Volcano. Of course most of the views were cloudy but it was still a beautiful view. I would wake during the night hoping to see the top of the volcano clear so I could see the red glow from the lava.





One night I woke to see a small cloud over the top of the volcano and an almost full moon. My picture does not come close to the actual sight.
