Wow... That's all I can say...

This trip has been absolutely AMAZING. Everything about it has been perfect. And John's company has been so completely gracious. The ONLY thing we've had to pay for is LUNCHES. Breakfast, dinners, some spending money, all included. It's really amazing. This picture is of us in the Ritz lobby before dinner on Thursday night.
We went to a really cool restaurant on Thursday... La Casona. Below is the entrance into the restaurant. The atmosphere was so cool and the service was top notch. Honestly, the service here is far superior than the service in the U.S. The servers here refill your wine/water glasses after each sip you take!!

Yesterday we had breakfast and then went on an hour bus ride to the rainforest. It was pretty cool scenery.

Our guide made a "Mickey Mouse hat" out of a big leaf. Once the group got far enough ahead, John and I put the hat on and posed for a couple pictures. Laughing hysterically all the while!






Look at this HUMMINGBIRD!! I couldn't believe it. Our guide was pointing out the nest and the eggs inside when all of a sudden, this teeny tiny mama hummingbird flew into the nest and plopped herself on top of her eggs! It was so cool!






Last night we went to Hacienda Siesta Alegra. It's someone's house that you can rent out for parties. It was absolutely SPECTACULAR!! Part of the film with George Clooney, that was just released yesterday (can't remember the name but something about "goats") was filmed there. They showed off their horses for us too, which was cool.




They had live music, a mechanical bull (see video at end of this post), fooseball (which, by the way, I'm awesome at.... who knew?), cornhole, mini horse races.... We had such a blast!


The whole area was covered but open-air. This was their living room!


And their kitchen...








What an experience this has been!! I'm so proud of John for winning it and am so grateful to GFS for their hospitality and genorosity!! It's something I'll never forget!
