• Dominical, Costa Rica.

I have so much to say about my Costa Rica trip. Where to start!? 

First of all, it was a trip for Beth and Jimi's wedding on May 7th. I've known Beth for about 9 years. I love her to death. We worked and lived together in Killington, VT years ago. She was my travel and dance partner in crime for many years. I love the girl. I equally love Jimi whom I also knew in Killington and who is a fantastic guy. They moved to Santa Barbara right after I moved to CA about 4 years ago, but we didn't see each other very often, unfortunately. I miss them so much. Luckily, they come to Martha's Vineyard every year, and I get to visit!

About 50 of Beth and Jimi's nearest and dearest came out to the surfing town of Dominical, Costa Rica for their wedding and festivities. To my surprise, the owner of the compound we stayed in also lives in Nantucket. Tiny world.

I got there on Tuesday, just in time for Cinco de Mayo. Wednesday was horseback riding day to the Nauyaca Waterfalls and the mountain biking trek. My horse's name was Frijolito and he was one feisty little guy. Let's just say you didn't want to be behind us. Thursday was the wedding day. We had beautiful weather, but of course it had to rain during the ceremony, for good luck! Friday (my birthday) was zip lining through the forest at the Hacienda Baru. Amazing. Saturday was a day at Manuel Antonio Park with sloths, lizards and monkeys and the warmest ocean water I've ever been in.

I got to reconnect with old friends that I haven't seen in ages, and make new friends from all across the US. I'm so excited to see a lot of them again in VT for the wedding celebration in June.

These are just some faves from the trip, the wedding wrap up is coming soon!
