Rain, Rain, Go Away

Yep, we booked our vacation during the rainy season in Costa Rica. The dry season (really, it's the drier season since it rains year round) is from December - May, but we decided to take our chances.

Yes, it has rained, but with the exception of one very rainy day in Monteverde when we went to Selvatura, it has rained on and off and the rain has not interfered with our activities. It was glorious the day we went to see the Arenal Volcano, as well as the day that we visited the Monteverde Reserve. It rained one evening in Guanacaste, but otherwise, the weather has been hot, humid and sunny.  In Monteverde, the weather was actually nice and cool, very temperate.

Perhaps we got lucky, but Maki and I have always been in the habit of traveling during the off season. It's less expensive, there are fewer crowds, and it just seems to work out timing-wise with work. I know this will change once season starts school, but for now, it works for us.
