Pura Vida


You guys knew this time would come. I'm outta here for another trip. I will probably be able to post a few updates while I'm gone. My goal will be to try to get a couple workouts in, eat tons of fruit and no sweets.
This will be my 3rd trip to Costa Rica. I love it to pieces.
Costa Rica has these amazing passion fruits called Granadillas. You crack them open and eat the seeds. Cleans you out all day! Especially if you eat like 4 of them. ha ha.
Their food is so fresh and yummy. Gallo Pinto!!! Oh man, I can't wait.
And, of course, you can't forget about the Guaro. It's like a cross between vodka and rum, but it's clear and so yummy to make drinks with!!
You'll have to hold off on the Matt #3 story. Now I've built it up to be so great - it's really not so don't get your hopes up.
Adios Amigos and Pura Vida!
