Over 3000 feet was the highest point at which I zip-lined or death slide as it’s also known as, thru the Costa Rican rain forest…the steady downpour of rain did not help matter’s as it made it much more difficult to apply the brakes to the slippery cable…but what a thrill it was soaring like an Eagle high above the Costa rican jungle, looking down praying the cable would not break!!!…lol
One of my favorite days in Costa Rica was my adrenaline filled, heart pounding adventure of white water rafting down the Balsi river. Taking the level 2-3 course, I thought I could bring my own camera for the ride and take my own pictures…boy was I wrong!..lucky for me after much reasoning from the tour guide and friend, I finally listened to their advice to leave my camera and let the guide take the pics. The course was much rougher then I expected and I actually took a plunge overboard when we hit a unforgiving wave. The unexpected dip in the raging waters would have ruined my camera and trip!…I was pulled back into the raft by an Angelic saviour who use my Dreadlocks to reel me in!
Woke up to a beautifull sunny morning my first day in San Jose…after a breakfast at a Casada of Gallo Pinto, I took the bus to my first destination spot…La Fortuna, home of Arenal volcano, one of the most active in the world…the winding roads through the gorgeous, sprawling, winding hillside turned the 50 mile trek into a 4 hour journey!
My first night in Costa Rica, took a stroll through downtown San Jose, I was surprise by the many American fast food joint’s…Burger King, Mcdonalds, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, you name it..Costa Rican’s love Pizza as much as I do lol…Pizza and Pespi seems to be the National snack lol
Arrived in downtown Costa Rica for my first night of this very special Christmas..it’s Monday night and pretty quiet downtown, there is a few cab driver and hustlers out, my friend say’s it looks like drug central out there and decides to stay in the room while I explore the area…American fast food joints McDonalds, KFC, Burger King and Papa Johns line the block..the Hotel casino is cool but its no Vegas…will partake in the free breakfast before catching the bus to La Fortuna to visit Arenal Volcano…

The South Bay area has many unique shops…one gem of a shopping experience in PLAZA EL SEGUNDO on Sepulveda & Roscrane…this plaza has great healthy places to eat…faboulous stores to shop…and a Art gallery that is host to some very fine paintings and photography by local southbay artis!
Mars Caribbean restaurant is the very finest in Belizeam Cusine…todays meal is Grilled Tilapia with fresh lime drizzled on top…white rice and a green salad with blue cheese dressing…and of course a couple dash of Marie Sharps pepper sause…bon apetite!
