Our Weekend in Paradise!

After an amazing trip to Manuel Antonio, Alaina and I are looking more and more like ticas (the local word for Costa Ricans). Actually we probably look more like tomatoes or lobsters, but we promise we wore sunscreen the entire time!! Our trip the beach and National Forest was amazing! We were able to see frogs, deer, monkeys, iguanas, raccoons, butterflies, and three-toed sloths! Plus we saw some of the most beautiful beaches in God’s great creation. My favorite part of the trip was probably our early morning run on the beach. The weather was perfect with a cool breeze, and we got to see the sun rising. Afterward we had a sunrise Sunday morning service on the beach during which we sang out praises to our King. We were both so in awe of the works God has created and that he would let mesley people like us enjoy this work. Oh what a wonderful God we serve. There are many wonderful stories to write about but it is late and we are both exhausted from the long day of traveling. More later on surfing dogs, finding Hotel Coco Beach, and Monkey Bars!
