This is the view from our $7/night hostel at the Arenal Volcano. Sweet. Happy family. Do these jeans make him look fat? (Blue jeans frog) peekaboo
Pura vida, mae. This is real light painting. Welcome to Jurassic Park. This is random tourist. I don't know his name, or care who he is. I took this photo without the smallest care for the subject. Take that, Mr. Tourist.
Croc Tails. Hey, a photo with all of us! This awesome chain store has big As burgers. Refresh my memory, did you have the Super As, Sarah? I think I got the Asburguesa. It's like the Disney World remake. La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles in Cartago.
Hallowed be nuestra señora de los angeles Here we see thank-yous to La Negrita for her healing and restoration.In case you're wondering, yes, there are thankyou's from people who've had pretty interesting body parts healed, but I wanted to retain this photo album's PG rating so I didn't post those. Filling up bottles of Holy water and washing wounds in the water Who needs a party. Limbo
Ruinas de Ujurrás Nathanael and Laura got to sit in on a rather expressive Spanish class. Man I wish I could have taken this class. Could have been me in that flowery skirt. How cool is it that my grammar teacher also teaches traditional Costa Rican dance?Very cool.
I am cool by association with these people. Me suspended in mid-air. Cuz that's what I do.
Here are our gracious hosts... and the people with the coolest job in the world. Now we're up at the Quetzal Education and Research Center up in San Gerardo de Dota. The Resplendent Quetzal, watching us as closely as we're watching him. Oh, we're only a few meters away from this thing in the wild as I'm taking this. check out that tail Mangrove kayaking
This is shortly after Nathanael bravely stepped out of the kayak to dislodge it when it got stuck. Jesus Christ lizard... why? because it's got walking on water skills. And a cool hood. This reminds me of someone...
happy family
Chillin'. White-faced capuchin Howler Monkeys This is a SWEET huge scorpion, that nathanael and Laura didn't appreciate for some reason. The bay from Manuel Antonio
Squirrel Monkeys. By the way this is the 3rd monkey species we saw, of Costa Rica's 4 species. This is also the most rare. HAH! Nathanael's expression is classic. Hey, we bad.
And now... Arenal Volcano, again, this time with Nathanael, Laura, Stephanie, and Nicole. Just a normal day in Costa Rica, walking to school with the smoking volcano erupting in the background.OK... this is nowhere near my school. Unfortunately. Risk Shmisk
Me floating in mid-air again. Cuz that's what I do. Brendan and Nathanael vs. The Volcano
And now, Arenal Falls
OK I'm going to post these comments now because people are commenting on the photos before I'm even done tagging them. PATIENCE people.
