Vacation In Costa Rica

“I must be out of my mind,” I thought As I hurled myself into the green abyss Over the forest canopy the zip-line went “Never, ever again if I manage to survive this”… I survived and now must brag a bit I was as brave as brave could ever be Just part of our Costa Rican vacation In a wondrous country I’d longed to see “Pura Vida”, they say, homage to a good life Such a friendly and simply beautiful place Full of curious mammals and lovely birds And natural wonders for all to embrace… Watched a sloth slowly maneuver a branch And we had lunch with a monkey or two White water rafting and a trek in the jungle Coffee plantations and pure water so blue… I will never forget the people or places we saw If you ever have a chance to visit please go You might even be brave and go Zip-lining You will love the unique experience I know… 2/14/16
