To keep my wanderlust in check, I decided to make a last minute trip to Costa Rica to take advantage of the long Memorial Day weekend.

Since the flights were in and out of the capital, San José, I decided to look to the lesser visited Caribbean coast for some laid back vibes.

While in Costa Rica for a short whirlwind trip, I visited Café Britt Finca and Roastery in Heredia to the north of San José. As with everything I did on that trip, taking the tour there was a last-minute based on what I felt like doing and what I could manage with my limited time in the country. That said, Sunday night after my adventure white water rafting on Río Pacuare, I booked a tour for Monday afternoon to Café Britt, Costa Rica’s first gourmet coffee roaster.

Eating Adventures

Food is easily one of my favorite things, along with naps, reading, and traveling. I have a preference for regional foods and local restaurants over chain restaurants.

I actually keep a running list of restaurants in our local area to try, and I periodically check out new places.
