Just a little shout-out to all the friends and families we met on this trip. You were all terrific! Thanks to Clarence, our guide, and Lolly, the best driver I have ever seen! The 28th was his birthday, Happy Birthday Lolly!
Random pics that didn't make the cut before, including the dragonfly on the croc this time!!

I'm not exectly sure where the tram was located, but it was a relaxing ride in a ski-lift type gondola through the forest canopy. Our guide was not very happy with the two adult children (husbands) that made jokes the whole way. They were pretty funny though!
Note the toucan in one of these pics. It is a rule that they always travel in pairs or more. The guide was ADAMANT about this. I wanted toRead more

The other side of the peninsula had calmer waves, but my poor mom still got rolled in the sand by them! She wasn't even knee deep, but she couldn't get back up!

Costa RicaAn early morning hike through the rainforest to 2 of the most beautiful beaches complete with more Capuchins!

The rest of the pics are from the crocodile andRead more
Costa RicaSay goodbye to Marriott Resort. I won't miss those giant grasshoppers. They were 8 inches long and flew all over the place, Ewww!!

Today was all about relaxing! We have had amazing buffet meals, swimming in a beautiful pool, a massage (so needed that!), and scouring tide pools for critters.
Infinity pool, driftwood, sunrise, Christmas tree, Vienne at tide pool, a hidden crab in the tide pool.

We visited a center that is working to protect the leatherback turtles. The Caravan tour operation donates a portion of our costs to support these research and conservation efforts.
The 2 researchers there were both American students working on their masters. Pics are of recently hatched turtles (these were not leatherbacks though), the researchers and the nesting pen where eggs are transferredRead more
