Day Three: Arenal National Park, Fortuna & San Carlos
There are no words to describe the beauty and majesty of Arenal Volcano, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica.
Ken and I rose early to spend time viewing Arenal Volcano and consuming its wonder. Howler monkeys screamed, darting through the trees. Glorious birds stopped by to feed, flowers and mariposas dazzled, snakes thrilled and frogs glistened. The greenery and sounds of the jungle stunned and thrilled. The volcano slowly shed its cloud covering.
I could not get enough of the fresh, homemade mango and berry yogurt, filling my cup every chance I could. I was the outlier, ordering deserts at every chance. Deserts were delicate, subtle and satisfying. Cafe con leche was my go-to drink at every stop, served with a beautiful drawing floating on top.
Luis Escobar and Gerhard Linner kept us on a tight, well-planned schedule, enabling us to marvel at and photograph every desirable, imaginable sight available in this beautiful world.
We all agreed, everyday is better and better!
