DAY 1 - busy!

Today is supposed to be a day of rest and it actually really was. We took a bus ride up the mountain to see the Poas Volcano. I nearly lost my breakfast to car sickness with all the driving but it was well worth it. The volcano was beautiful and the hiking in the area was nice. It was a cool morning, light jackets for sure but no rain. The sunshine and fresh air are a great change from the crazy Utah inversion and cold weather. From the volcano we headed down the mountain a little ways to the La Paz Waterfalls & Gardens. They have all sorts of wildlife and flowers there - it was amazing! We were able to see hundreds of different flowers, butterflies, orchids, hummingbirds, snakes, frogs and the waterfalls. It was a nice hike and a great way to spend a Sunday. The weather has been perfect...warm with a little breeze. It is a lot less humid then I expected so that has been nice. We ate dinner at the hotel and it was wonderful. I spent 2 hours in the hot tub with other wives from the group and it was great to relax and chat with the other women. We board a chartered small plane to our next destination at 11:00 tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is another busy day from hiking, to a tram, to the zip line! We are also going to be able to see the Costa Rica temple which should be neat. We are excited! Stay tuned for pictures. The storage space on Tyler's computer is low but I am working on it...

I am so sad I didn't get to talk to you before you left. I do not know what I am going to do not talking to every 10 times a day for the next week...sad :( I am glad you are having fun. I read all the e-mails you have sent mom and you need to relax...I talked to her tonight and your kids were being so good and having a great time! Kelsey is being their little mom and loving it! I miss you but I hope you are having a wonderful time. You deserve a break and you need to enjoy it! Keep posting!
