Arenal Lodge

In this picture, Ella is facing the volcano and the building up above there is the lodge.
That's our silver Peugot - trusty lil' fella - parked in front of our room with the volcano in the background.
Ella marching out through the field to run off some energy after sitting in the car all morning. We arrived at the lodge around 2:30.
This is the sign at the top of the entrance road - and they aren't a-kiddin'!!! It was tight and twisty and so covered over with trees and vines and everything you think of growing in Costa Rica.

OMIGOSH!!!! If you are ever so blessed as to have an opportunity to visit Costa Rica, do not miss the chance to see Arenal Volcano. It is the most amazing thing!!!! And I recommend this place - Arenal Lodge. http://www.arenal.net/arenal-lodge/ It's not the fanciest - it definitely needs some updating - but I don't know if the view can be beat. It is amazing - did I say that already? Oh - and you must get a junior suite - worth every penny!!!

All of these pictures are taken from the grounds of this amazing place... I have a whole post planned on just the view from our deck.

This part of CR was much more humid and green as you can see from the pics...
