Souvenirs from Costa Rica

Our first wedding anniversary is this weekend. We aren’t traveling anywhere tropical this year, so I thought I’d revisit our honeymoon in Costa Rica with a few photographs. Some silly, some breathtaking – not only do these bring back fantastic memories, they offer great design inspiration.

{loved this restaurant in Tamarindo. I doubt I’ll live in a tropical area, but I can imagine having something similar at a lake house}

{loved the color + construction of these bar stools}

{one of dozens of kudamundi we spotted. like endearing raccoon + they inspired one of the photos on the Framed Art Gallery Wall}

{panoramic of the pacific}

{an up close view of some rain forest plants – haven’t a clue what they are}

{flowers forgotten by the rain forest canopy}

{just a very adorable squirrel}

{we visited at the cusp of the rainy + dry season, explaining the lithe livestock}

{a beautiful view around the Arenal Volcano region}

{colorful tile at a cafe}

{approaching the Arenal Volcano by boat}

{very common scenery during this trip}

With the exception of my brief bout of heat exhaustion on our last day (which in retrospect, is now sort of hilarious), we loved every minute in Costa Rica. Can’t wait to go back.
