Rob and I had a break from teaching last week when Dave and Becka came to visit. We decided to go to the Caribbean coast since we’d only ever been to the Pacific, so we chose Puerto Viejo. It was a good choice. The only part of the Puerto Viejo trip I would change is our decision to stay at Rocking J’s hostel. It wasn’t the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in, but it was close.

How about some good? …Cocles beach near Puerto Viejo is one of the nicest beaches I’ve been to in Costa Rica. The sand is white, the water is blue, the sky is clear, and the waves are tall. What more could anyone ask for? We spent most of our days at Cocles - in between rounds of eating, of course.
After a few days in PV, Dave, Becka, Rob and I moved on to Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna (the town right outside it). It took about 4 hours in a minivan to get us there from PV, but it was worth it. Though it rained almost non-stop while we were there, and though we only saw the volcano clearly once or twice, La Fortuna was great....
