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...
