Costa Rica

behind me are the volcanic mountains. The day we left Costa Rica suffered a 6.1 magnitude earth quake. We felt the tremors the day before, and heard the volcano rumble. I feel so fortunate that we had left the day of the big quake.
only twelve girls wanted to go to the beach so I got to take them...it was my favorite day there

these are giant crocodiles that were swimming under a bridge we drove over


Jaco Beach







After Christmas the Marshall Swimming team went to Costa Rica. It was a good trip overall and some of the best scenery I have ever seen! We had great training conditions, and got to take two excursions. One day we went to the beach called Jaco...they say it is like South beach but trust me it is nothing like it! The second excursion was a zip lining trip. It was a great team bonding experience.

Yeah - two updates from Meg! Costa Rica sounds and looks very nice - I bet it was real difficult to talk you into going to the beach;-)
Sounds like you and Pat are doing well - good luck at conference - it must be coming up very soon...?
