Larkin/Balls Costa Rica Day #1 La Fortuna

 Thursday/Friday: Our adventure began with 317$ round trip tickets.  My kids had to pay for their tickets by doing certain things around the house.  like... make bed every day, practice piano, help with FHE, go for Sunday walks with Darren without complaining... 

Brittany is fantastic to travel with for lots of reasons. One reason is because she jumps in with creative ideas for the kids.  Games, photo contests, and treats.  Since we took a red eye I knew I needed to sleep.  Thankfully I can sleep anywhere.  The kids traveled great.  Husbands coming in 5 days.  We got this .

We landed around noon and stopped at a grocery store.  We were told to buy plantain chips, a bag of squeezable beans, Dos Pinion yogurt drinks and then drive 3 hours to La Fortuna in the middle of the jungle.  We arrived and got checked in, got some pizza, and then went to the local free hot springs under the road.  



  • free hot springs, across the street from Tabacon Thermal Resort, Head west from La Fortuna and after you pass Tabacon look for the marked spaces. Be sure to pay the guy in the parking lot to watch your car. 500 colones is appropriate. Walk downhill to the river and go left once you hit the bridge. After a short hike you will hit the free hot springs.
