Montezuma

Now these are the picture perfect beaches you dream of visiting after seeing them on a postcard. The trip was long and slightly more expensive than ideal, but we finally arrived in Montezuma, Costa Rica a couple of days ago. Located on the Nicoya Peninsula it has some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. The first night we stayed in a cabana that was in the jungle, on the side of the hill. The owner said to not leave our things on the porch outside during the night, because the monkeys have been known to steal. We were worried one would pop through the hole in our screen!

The first day here we took a long walk along the beach to find a white sand beach that looked like it went on forever. We also discovered a black and red beach. At the red beach, we climbed the freshwater waterfall and relaxed in refreshing pool. Since being here, we have had the most delicious (and expensive) food. I recently had banana pancakes and an organic mango lassi smoothie. Fortunately, the hostel Hannah and I recently moved to has a kitchen so we can save some money and cook our own meals. The owner of this hostel has put us in charge of the place while she is gone for the day, and we were moved into the honeymoon suite free of charge.

While here, we plan on hiking another waterfall and possibly going snorkeling off the coast of the nearest island.
Well, I'm off to the beach!
