I LOVE ROOM SERVICE!!!!!!!

Joel Versus the Volcano

I'm not sure how intelligent it is to cohabitate with a smoking active volcano. But the view from our room was amazing!



Looks Like We Weren't the Only Ones Havng a Ball




On the way back from the waterfall, we saw a monkey swinging around on the power lines, so we pulled over to get a better look. One more shot for our catalog of big wild animal testies. Yay!

South of the South Border

While staying at the resort, we took an overpriced taxi into the small rainy town of La Fortuna for a store run and dinner out. On the advice of the concierge, we decided to indulge in some tex-mex at a local joint on the edge of town. The food was pretty good and the beer was very cold. However, we couldn't tell if it was because we were gringos, because our waiter was having an off night, or the because the place was one of those themed restaurants, but the waitstaff was purposefully, directly, and extremely rude to the us. (Anyone know the name of the restaurant that made that famous?) But we got out of there unscathed--aside from the food poisoning--and ate on site the rest of the stay.

Wait For It

Not engaged...























ENGAGED!!!

A few more gratuitous waterfall/proposal pictures



Some TV Just Plain Stinks

There was even a big flatscreen above the bidet; and the rain simulating shower came right out of the high ceiling.



Tabacon

So, we've been over the engagement and how great Tabacon Thermal Spa and Resort was. But holy cheet, meng! This suite was sweeeeeeet!!!
