If you haven’t noticed the latest couple of items on my twitter feed, I’m back from ten days of a trip to Costa Rica. I have a lot of pictures to process and post and a lot I’d like to write if I ever get around to it. To summarize, I
- went to the edge of a volcano crater that was too foggy to see
- tasted a raw coffee bean
- walked among butterflieshistop>
- saw people packing bananas that had just come in from the field
- rode on a bus for 2 kilometers on a road flooded six inches deep
- saw sloths, monkeys, crocodiles, caimans, lizards, and two dozen kinds of birds I had never heard of a month ago
- walked along the beach on the Caribbean and the Pacific shores
- changed boats in the middle of a river (I’m convinced the first boat broke down because the driver slammed it into reverse when he saw a jaguar swimming across the river)
- saw acres and acres of pineapple fields — I’m not worried about the supermarket running out of pineapples for us to buy
- (illegally) crossed the border into Nicaragua
- walked on suspension bridges 50 meters above the rain forest
- got a cha-cha lesson (all right, a group lesson) from the winner of a TV dance contest show
I like the iguana
Awesome ! You picked a great time to go !
