Tardy? yep.

So, the problem with good blogging on big events of your life is that they (hopefully, the best ones) take you away from any computer connection. Which means you can't write about what you're doing, nor do you really want to take any time to write about it to other people. For example, like, your honeymoon. Sooo, when you do eventually return within range of a computer network i can't even drag up the muster to really describe the trip.

So, to say the least, the wedding was incredible. Liz was absolutely gorgeous, the weather held up, and everyone (at least, to my discerning eye) had a great time. The square dancin' helped, i suppose.

But, at the moment i don't really have any real shots of the day, as we are still waiting a little longer before we see some proofs of what our cousins Billy and Danielle took the entire weekend. I am sure that i will be sharing as soon as i can, though.

The next day we opened some more stuff, threw it all in the car and drove back across the country. Two days after that we were on a plane to Miami and then to San Jose, Costa Rica. Staying in the city that night at an old Coffee Plantation turned hotel, we got our little 4x4 the next morning and drove it over to the central pacific coast, to the coastal town of Playa Langosta, just south of Tamarindo. We had a few nights at a Bed and Breakfast literally on the beach and with wonderful weather. (the ocean down there is unreal, simply the perfect temperature.) Got some surfing done, got a little burnt, ate a lot of fruit.


Next we headed back inland and spent a few days inside of the national park dedicated to the Arenal Volcano at the scientific observatory lodge turned hotel. Our room had big windows that gave a completely unmitigated view of the volcano... if it wasn't for the clouds completely covering it. But, our first night there we could see an orange glow eminating from the cone, and
sadly did not picture it.





Our last night was a little closer back to San Jose at the La Paz Peace Lodge, probably the nicest place either of us have (or will) ever stayed. Wood and stone rooms, fireplace, waterfall shower and even a waterfall in the bathroom and a large porch overlooking another volcano - with a hammock and jacuzzi to help you enjoy it. Not too shabby.

So, suffice to say it was a great trip. Saw lots of wildlife, ate great food and got to get outside of my country's borders. Even when our first flight back came in too late and we got stuck in the armpit that is known as Miami overnight, i would still call it a good trip and give anyone eyeing Central America as a vacation spot a thumbs up.

Life begins to march towards normalcy now, but as the weeks go along and we learn to live this life together, i am sure that it will be nothing short of interesting...
