Northern Costa Rica
Bahia Santa elenna River TripOur first stop after leaving El Salvador was Bahia Santa Elena.  The bay is part of a large national park and is uninhabitted and undeveloped.  100% natural.  Slip Away and we caught up with friends on Loon III there.

Below Right:  Yikes!  A gigantic, scary arachnid!!!!

Bahia Santa Elena WaterfallThere was a small stream a short hike away with a nice waterfall and great swimming hole.  It was a hot day (in December ... say, what is your weather like?), and the pool was a refreshing treat.
