Chapter 5

Well  this is the finale of our trek through Costa Rica.  After a four hour road trip from Quepos, we arrived Saturday in Alajuela at 4:30.  The seven (yes, seven!) room hotel (the Margarita) is toted as a bed-and-breakfast; it's deliciously quaint, and thoroughly delightful!  What a surprise...we have a terrace view of the Poas Volcano in the distance.  The room is huge and soooo comfy.  Today (Sunday) we are just relaxing and regrouping for our flight tomorrow.  This afternoon we'll venture into town for cocktails and early dinner.  Since our flight leaves at 7:00 a.m. we have to get up super early for the 15 min. ride to the airport.  Arrival in St. Louis should be 3:00 p.m.  Looking back these past three weeks, the time has flown.  Larry and I have shared so many new experiences on this trip.  The memories we are taking with us will last us forever!
