HELLO COSTA RICA

Giant wind turbines and a spare windmill blade dwarf a parked semi-truck
near the Nicaragua-Costa Rica border.

Liz crosses the border with style.

Don't know about you, but we never would have guessed that one of Central America's largest wind farms spins off the coast of Lake Nicaragua a few miles from the Costa Rican border. 

But it does. 

With a little research we also learned Panama just unveiled its first wind turbine, which will be part of the region's largest wind project in history. 

Anyway, we were en route to Costa Rica after a fairly quick trip through Nicaragua. Highlights: volcano boarding, a boat-enabled border crossing from El Salvador, motorcycle riding, canyon jumping, and volunteering, among lots of other things.

Up next, some awesome National Geographic photography, more beautiful sunsets (obviously...our favorite) and us getting into some dirty jobs-style volunteering. 

Stay tuned!
