Watching Wheel of Fortune the other night, a contestant won a trip to Aye-ray-nul in Costa Rica. Took me a few seconds, but I suddenly realized hey! I've been there ... they mean Arenal! Above is a shot of the elusive volcano, taken from the main strip of Fortuna.
Lake Arenal is a world famous wind-surfing destination. To get to the volcano from Joellen's house you have to drive almost all the way around this lake. The views are spectacular!
This visit we stayed in a hotel on the strip. It was actually very nice, our rooms faced inward, onto the hotel courtyard. Breakfast was included at this great restaurant up the road (see my coffee blog).
Fortuna is a small town at the foot of the volcano - not sure I would buy a house there - after all it is a live volcano. As you can see it is a tourist destination.
Here is John, captain of the trusty Trooper .... at least it was trusty this trip thank goodness!
