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!!Read more

Day 7, Aerial Tram
December 28, 2017 in Costa Rica ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
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 to buy a toucan stuffed animal in the gift shop and they wouldn't let me. They said I had to buy TWO!! (LOL!)Read 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!

Also, a pic of the hotel "lifeguard". The iguanas would surprise us with where they showed up!Read more

There was a rooftop bar that we relaxed at while watching the most amazing sunset! We were told we might get some good sightings of birds in the morning so we went back early. Instead of birds we had a group of capuchin monkeys stop by!Read more

Did the monkeys "attack" you on the beach? they did when we were there. Maybe that's why you hung bags in the trees earlier.

Day 6, ice cream and crocodiles
December 27, 2017 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Stopped for ice cream at Monteverde Cooperative (first pic) founded by American Quakers. Left behind one of the teens from our bus. We didn't even go back to get him!!

Don't worry, another bus with our tour group called our bus and let them know we forgot him. They brought him on to our next rendevous and I don't think he will ever live it down!

The rest of the pics are from the crocodile and bird cruise on the Tarcoles River.Read more

Day 4, Turtle Park
December 25, 2017 in Costa Rica ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
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 transferred after being laid, the beach where eggs are found, Pura Vida, and TJ running in the sandRead more
