Costa Rica Chica Part 2
Costa Rica Chica Part 2
**Edit** I initially wrote this blog post about a week and a half ago. Little did I know it was the beginning stages of the corona virus for my mom and a less severe version for me. We are both doing better now. It has been a very scary two weeks because the symptoms are serious. From experience- please adhere to instructions from health care professionals: Stay INSIDE as much as possible, exercise and eat healthy! If you are not building your immune system- do so. ***

Four weeks ago as I frolicked throughout Costa Rica I never
knew just how special this moment was. Given the climate of our daily life
today, travelling out of the country was a gift. Costa Rica 2020 was a God sent blessing. I am
truly grateful.
As we continue from Part 1 (If you have not read part 1 check it out here), we left off in Liberia, Costa Rica enjoying mud baths and
hot springs. Next stop on our tour was Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Tamarindo
is a beautiful, busy beach city. It is definitely a tourist attraction. We were
fortunate to get great accommodations the day before at Lapalapa Beachfront Hotel. It’s the cutest hotel room with a patio that opens to the beach!

The beach was picturesque with white sand and clear, warm
blue water. Melani and I didn’t waste anytime jumping into our bathing suits to transform into #beachbabemode. I started out my beach day with reflexology on the beach. I
love pampering.
After the beach we decided to spend the evening walking around
the city and found a delicious restaurant called Rumors. I had the BEST Vegan Portobello burger with fries and a strawberry mango smoothie. They also have
vegan quesadillas and serve breakfast with many options. The burger was so
delicious I actually went back the next day and got another one! LOL
The next day I was talked into taking surf lessons with
Melani at the La Palapa Surf School right outside our hotel room. The gag is… I
don’t know how to swim, lol. It was quite fun and surprisingly a great workout.
There were a lot of planks push ups on the board, core control and carrying your boards to and from
the surf site. I wiped out every time in the ocean. I love that I was courageous
once again. And I got to add another memorable "first" to my checklist.
Later that day we drove into San Juan to rest and be closer
to the airport for our departure the next day. We booked another gem through
booking.com with the Radisson Hotel. On top of that I booked on T-Mobile
Tuesday, which allotted deeper discount with booking.com. We also got a room
upgrade from the hotel to top it off!

I cannot get pass how our lives are truly a gift. How are you truly living your life to reflect gratitude towards God for what He has done? Just a thought and something I am still contemplating as I embrace this time at home with family. If and when you have an answer for that question- share it with us in the comments section. We can inspire each other.
