As soon as my parents arrived, I had a lot of different things planned.. Our first stop was Irazu Volcano. This is the tallest and most interesting volcano in Costa Rica. Here we are at the entrance...
This is the top of the volcano with a little bit of clouds rolling in..
Here is the lagoon inside the volcano that can be seen from the top. It is so beautiful!
Here is my mom and I trying to get a photo in front of the lagoon.
After the volcano, we went to the historic city of Cartago. This is the old capital of San Jose that has been destroyed by volcano eruptions and earthquakes. We visited the Basilica on Palm Sunday and it was an amazing sight to see. We really felt like we experienced some of the culture of the Costa Ricans.
This is Mom, Dad, and I in front of the Basilica de Los Angeles in Cartago, Costa Rica.
After the historic city, we returned to San Jose for a Soccer Game!! This game was the playoffs for the team of San Jose against their rival team in Alajuela (about 25 minutes away). It was incredible to be part of the Futbol of Costa Rica!
Here we are inside the futbol stadium!! Go Team!
This is us at the end of the game. What a great time!!
