We were finally off to Costa Rica. Lee Astle was traveling with us to meet up with his family who had been in Costa Rica for the previous three weeks. On our way to San Jose, Costa Rica, a volcano erupted. The airport was closed and we were diverted. The flight attendants and pilots were excited. We got booked into the RIU Guanacaste all inclusive resort for a night. It is even on the beach. Much nicer than the Holiday Inn. In addition, we were able to rent a car there for the same price that we had reserved in San Jose and it is was much closer to our final destination.
We traveled by van to Monteverde to pick up the Astles and spend some time in the mountains. While we were there we zip lined and visited a butterfly sanctuary.
