It keeps going. . .

Costa Rica.

Deep in the rain forest. You fly in and drive a few hours to get to this hut hidden in the forest. You are very fatigued.  Sleep is the only thing on your mind that has been wandering.
Deep in the jungle lies this tiny bed and breakfast, where the Jeeps took you.
"It's going to be a great day tomorrow." Your S/O says. Yea sure.

The next morning you wake up very early. Not because you planned it that way, it's just that the sun rises and sets early here. So you and your S/O get in the Jeeps and you become increasingly more excited. Up and up you go. Deeper and deeper in the jungle. Dense.

You arise a tad above the tree line, onto a heightened plateau. You can see nothing but jungle all around you, and you hear something.
You turn around, and see the most magnificent water fall. 60ft in the air. Rainbows galore. You ask, "Do we jump?"

"No, we repel down."

And so you repel down. The slight breeze and rampant rush of water vapor consumes you. Takes you in as its own. You are the water fall. At the bottom, awaits the oasis of dreams. A slightly flat rock lies underneath the falls, and irradiates this sensual beauty all around.

"Wow. That was fun." You say.

"It keeps going." Your S/O says.

And so it does. 6 more times. 6 more falls. It keeps going.

You didn't expect to be on beach level at this time, but you are. The beach is right there. And so is this building. Made of marble columns and wood.

"What is that?"
"The resort."

And it was. Pools and spas. All open. It was nice. But it keeps going.

Dinner. Now food is on top of your mind now, and it doesn't let you down.
All you can eat. Steak. Lobster. It keeps going.

Afterwards following the carnivorous takedown, it keeps going.
To the shore. To the stars. To the view of the ocean blue.

And then you realize. The stars. Those tiny bright dots. More here, more there. It keeps going.


It all... keeps going.
