Costa Rica *






                      As my friends and I were riding four wheelers throughout the country side, these little girls showed up on our trail showing no fear riding up next to us on a horse. After they saw how amazed we were by them, they preceded to ride faster, loving the attention they got from us.











                                  Beautiful hotel and pool in the beach town of Jaco, Costa Rica. This hotel is about two steps away from the beach and a strip lined with shops and restaurants. Jaco is a  popular destination for tourists, and two hours away from the capital city, San Jose.










                                             


Gorgeous mother and daughter in Jaco *














      The busy streets of downtown San Jose on a Saturday afternoon. The streets were packed with people shopping, street performers, dancers, and bands.
