La Fortuna

This past weekend I visited a town named La Fortuna. This is the town where the famous volcano Arenal is located. Of course I did not check the weather before I went, and I forgot that we were in invierno in Costa Rica. I spent the weekend in a beautiful hostal overlooking the volcano. I did no see any thing. According to my reading and the map I received at the National Park, I stood at the base of the volcano, but I did not see anything only huge clouds adorning the sky. But when I got back home, I told my story to my host family. They replied, “Así es Costa Rica en el invierno, Pura Vida”
