Costa Rica is an incredible vacation spot. Much more expensive
than it's neighbors but offers a wide variety in adventure activities.

1999
February,
99: John, Zico, Esteban, and I partied in Costa
Rica to celebrate Zico's wedding plans. We stayed in
'the compound,' which was a beautiful, gated estate
within San Jose. We drove across the country to the
west coast and displayed our
fat bodies on the beach. In the cloud forest, we
zipped down
cables from tree-house to tree-house 75 feet above
the ground. At Arenal, we sat in a hot stream that flowed
from a volcano and formed a natural jacuzzi. Zico and
I almost drowned when he tackled me into the river on
a white water rafting trip; that's how Zico became the
undisputed captain of 'Team Stupid.' Somehow we survived
the roads, rivers, and horseback riding.
