Costa Rica - Day 7 - Arenal Volcano

Unfortunately, you're looking at the best view we ever got of the Arenal Volcano, or any volcano for that matter. Despite three days in Lake Arenal, the clouds never cleared to a point where we could see the whole mountain, let alone clear up at night so we could see some of the lava flow down the active volcano. We left Lake Arenal to return to San Jose and got to meet mi abuela nueva, my new grandmother, by marriage, who made me laugh by encouraging Nazzy and I to drink tequila as soon as we walked in the door. She made us an excellent, authentic Mexican meal. We finished off the day by getting massages at the spa and taking Dad, Maria and Melissa out for sushi.
