Wandering in Costa Rica


Due to the excitement, my friend and I were up really early. We were able to find many television shows that provided us with entertainment while we waited for our set meeting time for breakfast.


We all met for breakfast and had a nice selection of Costa Rican foods, with an ample supply of American dishes for the fussier eaters. This was nice. After breakfast, we loaded into the bus and headed to Costa Rica’s famed statue of the Little Drummer Boy. He is apparently a national hero there.



After the statue, which gave everyone a nice chance to stretch their legs, we journeyed on to Poás Volcano. The volcano is an amazing sight! The guide told us the volcano has been inactive since the 1990’s, so we felt safe and took many photographs. We stopped for lunch after this before heading to the plaza.


At Plaza de la Cultura, there was a lot to see and do. We also visited Central Park, the National Theater, and one of the area museums. It seemed that the activity never stopped. We were kept busy all day!


That night, we all went back to our rooms at the hotel. It seemed that everyone was tired from the day’s activities. Many people ate dinner, still a buffet, so I was happy. I hear the majority didn’t hang out after that. Most, including myself, seemed to head towards their rooms for some relaxation and much needed sleep. Though the casino and all the other amenities were there for our use!
