Costa Rica

After a significant change in my family situation (no gory details here!!), I took my first solo trip since my younger days - one week in Costa Rica. The original purpose of the trip was to get away from it all and clear my head, but what happened was the birth of my photo hobby, and my decision to buy better gear - which I did on my return from the rain forest.

Costa Rica is a photographer's dream come true, and I never even made it to the beach. Birds, floweres, wildlife of all kinds, and some teriffic food and local beer, too.

I went during the green season, whcih meant a hour or so of rain every day, but no problmes finding good photo opportunities.

And for those who llike the nightlife, San Jose has some amazing clubs, but we'll save that for another thread.
