Boo, we're leaving a magnificent place and going back to Hot'Lanta, which we hear is NOT hot right now---33 degrees and an ice storm, ugh!! Costa Rica is a beautiful country! The most beautiful mountains, rolling green hills, awesome ocean views, the islands, the volcano(Arenal). We have been in AWE the entire 7 days. Palu and I both agree this is the most beautiful place and it's the most wonderful vacation we've ever had!!!! Villa Cielo Rosa is fantastic--Muy Muy Bonito!! Fabuloso!! Dean & Anita--you guys own Paradise!! No doubt. We went on the river rafting/Wildlife trip at Corbici, where we saw crocodiles, monkeys, baby monkeys, and tons & tons of birds--a trip well worth doing. We then went to the waterfall that only locals know about--Awesome. Paul and I wish we could have our wedding there. We also took the Ocean wave runners and toured the Papagayo Bay. We rented these right here at Playa Panama and had a ball. We 2 sets of dolphins-amazing creatures. We did the canopy tour at Witches Rock--scary but I(we) are so, so glad we did it!! I became excited and really started having fun on about the 2nd "zip line". We went snorkeling twice and that wasn't enough. We also did Canyon Rappelling down 4 waterfalls and 1 dry rock rappell in Arenal. TRULY AMAZING!! We've seen sloths, anteaters, kuwatamundies(sp?), and so much more. We LOVE Costa Rica!!! We will definitely be back!! Have many, many more plans, things we want to do we didn't this trip. Dean and Anita---Love Ya'll Bunches!!!!! Pura Vida Gracias!! Paul and Sally
