Economical Explorations

Typical breakfast…with a twist
✨ Tortipinto (veggie version) has scrambled eggs, pinto, platantos, cheese, and avocado sandwiched between two homemade tortillas with cafe con leche and a cas smoothie on the side 😋 🇨🇷🌪

For us, weekend mornings are all about taking it slow and savoring the little things, at its finest.

We love Taco a Taco in Santa Ana for many reasons: the food, the authenticity, the outdoor seating, the service, the affordable price…it just can’t be beat! Comidas Típicas Taco a Taco

Spent the day kayaking at Parque Ecológico Volcán Arenal 🛶✨ Although it’s covered by some clouds, you can see the volcano peeking through in the distance 👀🌋☁️ We saved a few bucks by taking a collectivo to the park, paying the entrance fee, and then paying a small amount to kayak. In all it cost about $16 each instead of the $50 the tour company wanted to charge us.

We were also able to walk over to the Natural Hot Springs River, a free attraction, and spend some time relaxing in naturally heated water. No pictures of that though, since we were advised not to take any stuff with us to avoid theft. I think La Fortuna is shaping up to be one of my favorite places in Costa Rica.

Vamos pa’ la playa! Today is the day before our wedding and we are settling in at the most beautiful boutique hotel in Tamarindo, ✨ The location, the ambiance, the service, the lush gardens 🌿 it’s unreal. We are feeling so overjoyed and so blessed for this experience and we cannot wait for tomorrow!
