Coffee, Volcanoes, and Waterfalls

You know it is a good morning when you start out at a coffee farm and drink a delicious latte and walk around all this beauty.
We arrived at the crater of Vulcan Poas and it was refreshingly chilly. That's right, it felt good to be a little cold! You can't see the crater here too well because the clouds moved so fast it was hard to capture it, but it was huge with blue acid water and steam.
Nothing like a little hike through the rain forest. There were so many beautiful trees and everything was so lush and green!
When we arrived at La Paz waterfall park and gardens, we had an amazing lunch and walked all around the gardens. Then a butterfly landed on my arm in the butterfly garden! It actually felt really weird. But there were so many beautiful flowers and butterflies all over, it was insane.
After about 2000 steps over rocky cliffs, we arrived at the viewpoint for one of the many waterfalls along the trail. It was so beautiful! And don't forget the walking sticks. Gotta have the walking sticks.
I am continuously amazed at God's beauty here in Costa Rica. I have come to love this country and am so excited for the months to come. I am so blessed with my friendships, host family, and school and it will be so hard to leave in December. But there are many more adventures to come...
