We had so much fun and are exhausted after this trip!
We did really well as far as budgeting and planning our time well in Costa Rica.
Our $100,000 budget broken up into 8 weeks leaves $12,500 per week trip.
Mark found great deals on the zip lines and rafting trip which totaled $495 USD (252,705.59 CRC) and $300 USD (153,154.90 CRC) The transportation was included in both trips. The guides picked us up at the hotel. Everything else we just walked to.
So we made out well. We had so much extra money for this leg, we decided to all get souvenirs. Alex got a mini volcano replica of Arenal that explodes fake lava and then recedes back in for the next explosion as well as postcards for his girlfriend. Mary Beth found a little masked man dog toy to bring home. Mark purchased a sweet rafting t shirt with his face on it fighting the rapids. Noah found a little monkey stuff animal that looked like the ones that chased us. And Kristen bought some jewelry from the local market!
Overall with the food, hotel, attractions, and souvenirs, we totaled $5,000 USD which came out to be 2,514,750 Costa Rican Colon. We looked like big shots with our US dollars out all the time. Everyone wanted to give us the best experience and really show us some South American hospitality.
We still have $95,000 dollars left for the next 7 legs of the trip!
Can't wait til we head out toward our next leg in Quito, Ecuador!

Alex, I need to have these $ and transport details in with the activity posts. Your accounting is okay and so beef up your activity reporting and I'll give you 15 more points for this post. 15 points.
