Reasons why I love Costa Rica

I've decided I'm going to write a list, aka Part 1, of why I love Costa Rica so much. This place is my new home, and I can't imagine leaving, because there are so many amazing things here.

\

• The people: The people here are some of the nicest, most caring people in the world. They make sure you are happy, and they have some of the biggest hearts.
• The food: Words can't describe how well-fed I am here!
• Nature: There is green everywhere! I feel so tropical because of all these different plants and flowers. 
• The sky: That might sound a bit weird, but the sky is SO BLUE! And at night, you can see millions and millions of stars, and in Seattle, seeing maybe 20 stars is a rare treat. 
• The animals: One of the coolest things in the world, is driving with the family, and then all of a sudden you hear monkeys-it is amazing. And they are super friendly too, and veryyy talkative! Also, my neighbors have chickens and roosters, and its pretty funny just seeing them walk into our yard. 
• SUN!: Yes, that is always so nice, to wake up to sun every single day. I'm pretty sure when I go back to Seattle I will be having sun withdrawals. 
• Being able to swim in a pool every day
• Going to the beach whenever I want to 
• Sunsets: The sunsets don't last long, but if you are at the beach during sunset hour, it is one of the prettiest things in the world.
• The music: There is so much culture in the typical music, and then there are so many different types, and whenever you hear music here you want to dance.
• My family and friends
• The random things you find: I was driving in Punteranus, and there was a gigantic sculpture of a dinosaur, I guess Jurassic Park was filmed here. 
• Being greeted wherever you go: When you walk down the street in the US, or your neighborhood, you don't usually stop to say hello, but here, you start a full on convo and everything!
• Volcanoes 
• Pinata: If you have a reason to use a pinata, it is used: birthday parties, school dances, graduations, neighborhood party, party, party, party, party, party!
• Waterfalls
• Hammocks: They are legit everywhere!
• Surfing!(: 
• Horses: I love horses, and a lot of people own horses, so I have gone riding a lot!
• Spanish 

So that's all I've got for right now, but I'll make another one later adding onto this.
