Costa Rica Day 1

In Costa Rica...LOVING it. Right now, I'm laying in bed, I can hear the ocean....oh...just saw a gecko. He keeps peeking out from behind the tv stand. I've been hired by a great company to come down and take pictures of their staff while they vacation here. So they've put me up in a rather nice hotel on a beautiful peninsula in Costa Rica. Luisa is actually joining me tomorrow, and after we're done here, we're taking an extra week to see the country.

So I just wanted to post a few of my travel pictures. Spent the day on planes. Not fun. Except if anyone can make it fun, my wife can. I have a blast with her.

Flew into Liberia, CR. On the way in, the pilot decided to "dodge" the lighting storms below. I saw the most spectacular natural light show. It was amazing. We also flew over an active volcano...beautiful.

Liberia was just wonderful. So small, and out there. The terminal, baggage claim and customs were all together in a big warehouse type building. I loved it.

Then there's the hotel. I guess I can't really say that I'm "roughing it" but Luisa and I are going to have our fair share of that after we finish up the photo job here. The hotel is beyond beautiful. Went down to the beach...forgot my tripod, but took some long exposures just for fun holding the camera on my lap.

Good day, beautiful place, and incredible people. Can't wait for tomorrow.

While you are in Costa Rica make sure you go to the Peace Lodge which is about an hour north of San Jose if you want pictures of Hummingbirds, Waterfalls and tree frogs all in once place. I just the photographer who does our tours out there and it was incredible
