Uruguay vs Costa Rica

It turns out that Costa Ricans are better at soccer that anyone thought. It's currently 2-1 and they are holding out pretty strong. Being one of the few 'no-bodies' in the tournament, it's always nice to cheer for the underdog and then see them hold their heads so high!

Now, it's great to watch and all that but my dad posed a very interesting question...where the heck is Costa Rica anyway? We knew is was near the Caribbean area...but it all got a bit blurry from there. Whilst looking for a map in Google Images, something even more interesting caught my eye - this place is BEAUTIFUL!!

So if you have any interest in my nerdy interests - this will blow your mind!

Remember the time your Geography teacher said that you could just call the whole area 'Central America'? Well, Costa Rica is one of those - between Nicaragua and Panama...yeah, just there. Here are some maps to help:

And here are some of it's cool features:

 Forrests.

Waterfalls.

Beaches.

Volcanoes!! (Yes!!)

Ancient things.

Things like him in the tree.

Yip...on my bucket list for sure!!
