Costa Rica

As much as I love winter in Montana, I had a great time leaving it for 10 days of fun in the sun in Costa Rica with family.  We spent 4 nights in la fortuna, 3 in the monteverde/santa elena area and 3 at playa tamarindo.  Highlights included hiking through rainforests, plentiful unique wildlife, family time, great food, zip lining, spectacular waterfalls and running rugged singletrack in shorts and a t-shirt in january.
