Anniversary

Gary and I had a terrific 17th anniversary this weekend. We stayed at an awesome little hotel in the hills above Miramar. Most of it's awesome-ness was because it was up higher and therefore much cooler than Miramar. So nice!!!!! And there was this adorable little swimming pool of spring water that was cold, but not so cold that you couldn't get used to it. We hiked and swam and read books in hammocks and ate great food.

Anyway, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Costa Rica. It is not too fancy, just cute and small. It is called Hotel Vista Golfo (Gulf View) and it lives up to the name. It has a very pretty view of the Gulf of Nicoya and great sunset views as well. It is an "adventure" hotel, so it offers zipline tours through forest and by waterfalls, and horseback and ATV tours. There are also some beautiful hikes. It advertised lots of wildlife. We saw gorgeous butterflies (there are so many in Costa Rica that we see a new kind every couple of days), and lizards. Unfortunately, no monkeys or coaties (google it).
