Welcome to LA! We spent four beautiful days with Melina's friend Lucy in sunny Los Angeles. We walked along Venice Beach, went thrift shopping in Santa Monica, ate many bagels...

2 1/2 weeks of 'pura vida' in Costa Rica!
In the first week, Melina and I went to Dominical, a tiny town on the Pacific coast, to learn how to surf. It was the first time for both of us to stay in the same place for a whole week. It was really refreshing. Surfing went better than expected and we both loved it.
After a week in Dominical, we picked up Melina's parents in San José - the capital of Costa Rica - and traveled with them through Costa Rica. The nature here is fantastic and there is a variety of beautiful animals. We went hiking in different national parks and took boat tours.
