I can’t believe it’s been THREE months since we left Prague! I admit that I miss it so much. It’s strange that we were only there for a year, though–three months on the road, a large chunk of that at home, feels very different from our first three months in Prague. Interestingly enough, it’s been almost a year to the day since I wrote my Three Months in Prague: By the Numbers post. Funny how math works. And funny how life works. It certainly looks different one year later: I’m sitting on a balcony in Central America, surrounded by rainy jungle, with a husband (who is currently re-organizing my suitcase because he can’t handle how I pack…).
I will have to write a long essay about my current emotional state regarding all these changes, and won’t that be fun??, but first, let’s discuss…
THREE MONTHS ON THE ROAD: BY THE NUMBERS
THREE WEEKS in Costa Rica. I can’t even begin to cover everything we’ve done, really!
EIGHT NIGHTS (total) at one of the best Airbnbs in the world.
ONE MEAL in an airplane…on the ground. This is a common thing here, weirdly!
COUNTLESS headaches as I navigate the murky waters of Apple and getting my computer fixed (yes, it’s still a doorknob).
TWENTY DAYS with a car to explore! Loved our little jungle car. And although Costa Rica’s roads are just as wild as claimed, it was worth it to go wherever we wanted, whenever we wanted. 
AS MANY Pacific sunsets as we could manage!
FOUR VISITS to these hot springs near the Hacienda Guachipelin.
FIVE WATERFALLS. For swimming, for seeing, for visiting, and one even ridden down to via horseback.
SEVEN national parks visited.
SIX DAYS (three longer than planned!) in one of the best stops in Costa Rica: the cloud forest of Monteverde.
THREE DAYS of fighting sickness…hence the reason for our extended stay in Monteverde (that and it’s amazing). Not SO bad to be sick on your honeymoon when you get to snuggle up in a cute little cabin though, right?
ONE NIGHT with a volcano view.
SIX NIGHTS on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
THREE NIGHTS at the incredible Banana Azul. A home away from home!
ONE Caribbean sunrise.
TEN (at least) hanging bridges crossed.
SEVEN sloth sightings! Including one baby! Which was too far away to get a good picture, but I will certainly remember it for.EVER.
One Month on the Road: By the Numbers
Two Months on the Road: By the Numbers
Now, tell me…how was your month?! Since I missed out on fall, my favorite, share some of your best autumnal moments in the comments!
You’ve had the best of times!:)
Very true 🙂
Wow… amazing! All of it!
Thanks, Sammy! It’s been a good month 🙂
Those places you get to stay at, so nice!
Haha well I didn’t take pictures of the not-so-great places we stayed at in-between these ones 🙂 although, Costa Rica isn’t so expensive when it comes to accommodation. But, I think we splurged on those more than usual since it was our honeymoon!
That sunset beach photo…. just WOW! :))
Thanks! I think it’s one of the top sunsets I’ve ever seen for sure 🙂
Awww little sloth! I can’t wait to read about your Air BnB, it looks amazing!
Love the sloths! 🙂
Gosh, this all just looks so so AMAZING! That airbnb looks just incredible too, wow!
It was AMAZING. And such a good deal!
WOW – those are some incredible photos and some seriously cool numbers. Sloths and waterfalls and sunsets, oh my! 🙂 My favourite autumn moment so far has been crunching through all the gorgeous yellow and red and gold leaves in Hyde Park. It’s a classic! 😉
Oh that sounds so wonderful! I miss fall!
Oh my gosh your month sounds amazing! It looks like quite the trip of a lifetime! And that cabin in Monteverde is so cute!
Monteverde was definitely one of the best stops of our trip 🙂
Oh wow, what a month. I’m going to have to give this by the numbers kind of post a try next year!
You should! Such a great way to keep track.
JEALOUS! I loved everything about Monteverde. I am so bummed that we didn’t make it to the east side of the country – it looks amazing!
Monteverde is so great! I think my favorite stop of our trip. The east is a little hard to get to unfortunately, but so worth it!
