Day 8 - Leaving Costa Rica

On the road by 6:20 am. Another drive through mountains - the scenery is so beautiful every where we go. We are going up and there are clouds in pockets between the mountains and in the valleys. Unfortunately where Matias wanted to take us for breakfast was not yet open and it had a breathtaking view. So on we went on another highway barely 2 lanes wide, twisting and turning. Stopped for breakfast in San Isidro where we had shopped for the school supplies. Our descent was slowed now by fog and trucks. We arrived in San Jose at 10:30 instead of our anticipated 9:30 am, so no time to stop and see the coffee roasting equipment. But we arrive at the airport nice and early for our flight back to Canada. We say heartfelt good byes to Matias and thank him for a wonderful week - and hope to see him again.

Costa Rica is so amazing! Pura vida!
