Nosara, Costa Rica

Simon and I decided to take a last minute trip to Costa Rica. We flew to Atlanta and then to Liberia, Costa Rica. We rented a car and stayed near Nosara at a beach called Playa Guiones.

Here's a quick video of our ziplining views.... sorry if you don't like heights.

I wasn't planning on running or anything athletic while I was in Costa Rica, minus swimming or surfing. So, I didn't pack my running shoes. We ended up zipling which requires athletic shoes so I ended up having to borrow shoes from the Costa Rican guys that worked there. Needless to say, they did not have a ladies size 6 shoe. My husband, the evermost supporting guy, called me 'Bilbo Baggins' all day. Lucky for me 'The Lord of the Rings' did not translate over to the Ticos (natives) who worked on the zip line.
Simon, who oddly has a fear of heights, overcame his fear for the day while ziplining. I think it was because there was an 11 year old boy in the group who kept volunteering to go first and made all the guys look bad.
