About stevedana:
We hope to travel to every continent.........A friend of ours said, "You must have so many stories to tell" Hitchhiking in Costa Rica, hiking in rhino and buffalo territory in South Africa, sailing a boat off the coast of Australia, and springtime in Paris are some of our memories. We have done volunteer work in South Africa and Costa Rica and hope to do more around the world. Wonder what new memories are in store for us.......................
We are independent travelers. We don't like traveling a certain way to a certain kind of place. Instead, we prefer to have as many different kinds of experiences as we can. You'll see that each of our adventures are very different from one another. We include travel tips in our blogs (we live by Lonely Planet guidebooks)....
Happy travels!

An end to our adventure...........
Posted by stevedana | 19th January 2008
Jan 16th - So on our last day, we headed out back toward San Jose. I was consulting the map and the Lonely Planet book in search of cool stops. We found a couple. LP says of Villa Caletas " If you have your own wheels, it's worth stopping in for a quick drink....arguably one of the most spectacular hotels in all of Costa Rica."
Well, it was on our way and that piqued our interest, so after driving past the entrance we turned around and made the slow journey in.
Described by LP "Since it's perched on a dramatic hillside, you'll first have to navigate a 1KM long serpentine driveway adorned with cacti and Victorian lanterns. The drive will be worth is as upon entering the property, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Pacific coastline."
When we got there, we went to their amphitheater restaurant there as LP suggested and got a table and sat down to take in the amazing view. We ordered french-inspired breakfasts and a passion fruit smoothie that was divine. Everythin
