I have the BEST JOB in the planet!!!!

After a month of traveling and honeymooning, we are back to Playa del Carmen!!! (Matt's going back to Atlanta in a few days..)

There are a lot of new things coming up for Del Sol Clients & Friends, and we have a zillion projects going on, we worked pretty much all day long, but finally at the end of the day we took our bicycles and went for a ride to the beach




It's so great to be back home!..





This September 16 is Mexico Independence Day, so the streets are all decorated, Time for Fiesta!!!







Viva Mexico!!!! Almost 200 years of Independence!!! 1810-2008

Touring NYC has been pretty exciting, this is a fabulous city with so much to see!




This was a rainy day, still we are out there going to check out some interesting sites


We went to "Ground Zero" the place where the World Trade Center use to be., today they are working (don't know what is going to be there..), we could only see some stuff going on trough a bridge










Grand Central, the train station








That afternoon we went to Brooklyn


I did a very quick photoshoot for my "new friends" and cousin Jamie&Melissa, who's wedding we are photographing next year., they were showing us around, and I though, hey!, lets have some pics!.. (more to come later)


The views from Brooklyn to Manhattan at sunset were amazing!














After hanging out in Brooklyn we went back to Manhattan and went to the Top of the Rock, to get more amazing views of the city at night












We are leaving today! and haven't seen the Statue of Liberty, so here we go!































And that was the end of this trip, I am definitively coming back!, Loved the city! and had a wonderful time, so see you soon NY!!

Matt's aunt B "La tia favorita" as she likes to be called, planned a "girls only" NY trip and invite me (all inclusive plan.. haha!)

So here I am, in the big city!, I got here today (sept 4) and be here until monday afternoon


Isn't this a nice welcome ??... how funny!


I arrive earlier that the other girls, so I went for a "tour", and I was pleased to find a "Bicycle taxi"


I've never seen so many lights

After getting off from our rustic transportation... (HAHA!.. kidding)...



We are ready for the next adventure!, we are on the other side of Arenal Lake, heading towards Monteverde, a cloud forest..


The cloud forest turned to be the "monsoon" forest!!, it was raining everyday, hard core...
Here we are in a Orchid Garden, next to our hotel, holding umbrellas and taking photos..

We did other activities, like Canopy, under the monsoon, quite an experience, sadly no photos.. I was holding haard with both hands to those ziplines!


Walking trough Santa Elena, a Cloud Forest Reserve






lots and lots of hummingbirds everywhere! I wish I was faster to get them in the frame, so hard..


After 3 days in the cloud (MONSOON) forest, we decided it was enough of that, and we headed to the beach, hoping to relax under the sun (little we knew.. haha...) Our taxi driver shoot this photo in our way to Liberia city, where a car was waiting for us


So, here we are, driving a little car that I choose..and heading for the "sunny beach" to relax after hiking and hiking for days in the rain.., we needed a change..

We are at Potrero Beach, and the Monsoon decide to follow us..., we had little breaks from the rain during some ours in the morning, that morning was special with this nice rainbow shinning for us



it was raining hard that morning, (monsoon is following us!) but, suddenly it gave us a break, so we quickly went outside to enjoy the little sunshine




Rivers come to the ocean, so the water in the rainy season is not exactly crystal clear.. but who cares, we are having fun!



Look at this guy!..he was fighting me!.. or my camera??









The guero is happy!!!





I was running in the beach, it was a loong and wide beautiful beach, I felt so alive and happy!



That morning we changed beaches... (ha) .. we left Potrero, and drove to Flamingo beach, which is very close. We found a hotel with a great view "Estella de Fuego" , so we checked in for 2 nights.






Following this stairs we found a private beach, neat!!!, just for the two of us!..





Matt is my filmmaker this days, wait to see the amazing video he has from the whole trip!





Sand at this "volcanic beach" is black and rocky, I think is beautiful.


Last photo, and I put down my camera and got into the water.. niiiice!, it is warm


That afternoon we drove to "Tamarindo beach" a more develop and tourist area, specially for surfers.. and dogs.. (haha), lots of them, it was so funny to watch a few of them ran so free and be so happy!


I wanted photos from the two of us!.., so I found a guy and asked to press the shutter of my camera while Matt and I run in the beach for a minute ...


We got a few cool ones..




We are in our honeymoon and it's awesome!!!



Next Day..., last day!!

It's raining again.. but we have a sailboat ride booked for the morning, so here we go!








After a while, it stopped raining, and the sun is shinning!










Last night in Costa Rica, and it's not "monsooning".. there is a little rain falling.., but I want sunset photos, so here we go.. flamingo beach..












Good Bye Costa Rica!!!, Del Sol is leaving! It was an amazing adventure!!!!

Life is Great!, Traveling is awesome!!!... and having the love of your life sharing both is the best thing in the world!!!
