Costa Rica, Part I

December 14th, 2008 @ 11:26 pm by Mrs. Coconut

Hello to the Hive! Sorry, I’ve been so absent lately. I hate to admit it, but things have been moving slowly for me lately. I haven’t had the desire to blog; I know it’s shameful to admit, but true. It wasn’t until Sunday night that I started to feel that urge to share with my dear friends again! I had read about the rumors, the post-wedding blues, and thought I would never fall victim to something that crazy. I suppose that the wedding filled up such a huge part of my life, that now I find all the free time to be… stifling.

However, I see the light at the end of the tunnel now. The fog is starting to lift and I’m feeling energetic and extremely elated to be a newlywed. A few nights ago, Mr. Coconut and I went to Starbucks and played Scrabble. Later we watched Love Actually with a bottle of red and devoured a fruit & cheese basket my cousin had sent to us. Marriage is bliss. :)

Okay, on to the honeymoon recaps so that we can get to the good stuff (WEDDING RECAPS)!

The first week was spent in Playa Hermosa. We were staying in a 2-bedroom villa with views of the Pacific Ocean. It was quite amazing. Let’s just get to the pictures, shall we?

Here we are at Miami International in our cool shirts. More on those later.

After four hours of driving, the Pacific Coast was right in front of us!

In the first ten minutes of seeing our villa, I was taking pictures for you guys. What was Mr. C doing? He was watching CNN.

Here’s our view from the living room. Not too shabby, eh?

Here’s our little SUV that could. Yes, Mr. C is bigger than our Suzuki Jimny.

The dark sand beach was really nice, but this was my favorite. Fresh ceviche.

And raw oysters, right out of the ocean.

I did a lot of this - laying.

I dedicate our honeymoon to Victoria, our British speaking guide. She always protected us.

Anyone else venturing to Costa Rica for their honeymoon?!?!

You guys are so cute. I’m not engaged and so not contemplating a honeymoon (too much!) but my boyfriend and I spent a week in Costa Rica this summer. We trekked a little farther into the southern part of the country than was probably wise considering the amount of time we had, but I absolutely loved the country, so amazingly beautiful and such friendly people! Glad to hear that you had a great time.

I’ve been to Costa Rica 3x, but we aren’t going there for our honeymoon. Our tour guide told us not to eat the ceviche there, but it sounds like you were OK!

My fiance and i were considering Costa Rica for our honey moon (we would be there for 2weeks the beginning of November 09), but I read that it is the rainy season. How was the weather???? I hope you have good news for me!

November is the very end of the rainy season, beginning of their summer. It rained maybe 1.5 days out of 12? The weather was perfect everyday!
