On Sunday, December 13, 2020 I took a magical, solitary ride into wonderland!
The mountains have been calling me for a while now. With this gorgeous, clear summer weather, one can see them all around. Today, I decided to go up to Alto Palomo restaurant above SarchÃ, then see where to go from there. Perhaps back down to head on over to Zarcero.
I took calle Trojas up, which I have taken perhaps three times in the past. Half way up it connects with route 708, after an impossible 270 degree steep uphill curve! Hahaha!
Alto Palomo was closed. I headed down route 708, then changed my mind, and turned around to go to Bajos del Toro. Continuing up, the views are simply stunning and AWESOME!
I am sure he is not the first and certainly won’t be the last.
The trip up and down to Bajos del Toro felt like I was traversing wonderland. Out of thi world.
Nearing Ciudad Quesada, I saw Arenal Volcano. No way I was going to go home without a visit to this majestic mountain! 🙂 How exciting it is to move closer and closer to it, just as it is exciting to see the ocean from a distance and move closer and closer.
It was a quick trip to visit the volcano, but good enough for me. I headed home via route 702 to San Ramón.
In Los Angeles de San Ramón, I saw a few cars turning right. So, I again decided to do a U-turn and take the road they were taking. It looked interesting (and paved). How fun to be spontaenous! It turns out this road connects with 706. Happy I took it and may take it again next time I am coming home via San Ramón. There is another route I want to take as well, but will need company to do that.
Yeah. It was an awesome day! I just can’t describe the feeling of being immersed in so much natural beauty. Costa Rica is astounding. Truly. No matter how long I have lived here, I continue to experience awe. Amazing grace.
