This was the front of our hotel. It is called Harbor Reef. The cool thing about our hotel was that it was literally in the forest. 
Here are some animals from Costa Rica. I dont know what this next animal is, but he looks like a squirrel.
This is a pic of a Howler monkey. They make a loud weird noise. Zach said it sounds like a pig being slaughtered. haha!
These are lil baby Howler monkies. The owner of our hotel was taking care of them. They were recused from the forest. Their mother was electrocuted from trying to swing from a power line. They said that happens everyday. So, they have a foundation where they are trying to save howler monekies by putting a rubber coating around powerlines. Sad huh?
This lil guy is a bird with rainbow colors. He belonged to the owner of the place where the wedding was. He loved to sing.
This is a tucan. He was at our hotel in a huge cage. Everytime I walked up to the cage he would fly over to the edge and look at me like that; with he head cocked to the side. I bet he was thinking what a strange creature I was.
This is one of the pools at our hotel. It was pretty. There were Hibiscus flowers, banana trees, and other exotic flowers around the pool area.
This pic is of a hotel that was up on the hill. You could see it from the beach. We were curious so we went up the hill to check it out. Come to find out, it is an abandoned hotel. At the top is a hand. I was kind of eery when we went inside. It felt like we were in a scary movie and something bad was about to happen. It was a beautiful hotel with an amazing view. I dont know why it would be abandoned.
This is known as the "Blow Hole." It is a hole in some lava rock and when the waves would come in, it would shoot water out the top. It was really cool.
I got to go horseback riding. It was so much fun except that my butt hurt for the next week. It was a 2 hour horseride and my horse loved to run. We started out on the beach and went up the mountain and ended back on the beach. I went with a large group. Zach did not go....He was spending time with the groom and the boys. 
This was up in the mountain. Really cool! 
This was the back of our tour guide. She was very pretty. It was her and her dad that lead us. Isnt Costa Rica beautiful? Oh, if you look in the back ground, you can see that abandoned hotel on the hill.
I got a battle wound on the horse ride. As you can see I did not win the battle. The tree did. What happened was we were heading back and there was a fallen tree on the beach. Well, I wasnt looking ahead of me and by time I saw it I could not steer my horse around it and a branch cut into my leg. Im suprised it did not rip my pants. It has now been 3 weeks since it happened and there is still a bruise on my leg. It was so deep that it damaged muscle tissue.
Here is the couple that was getting married. Gorgeous aren't they!
Here is the wedding party! Can you find Zach? 
Here are some of the flowers that were in the wedding. I love the flowers down there. They are so tropical and very expensive here in America. These ones are Heliconias.
In here are some Ginger and some Heliconias.

This is where the ceremony took place. Gorgeous view right?
This was what the ring bearer held. Cleaver idea! They just hot glued a pillow inside the shell.
Father and daughter.
These starfish were placed on the tables indicating where you were supposed to sit. 
Some of the groomsmen. Claude, Justin, and Zach.
This was our name tags at the rehearsal dinner. It was a fun and beautiful evening. The food was amazing.
So, as you can see Zach and I had a great time in Costa Rica. Like I said earlier. It is a beautiful country and we enjoyed our visit there. The memories will stay with us for forever.
