It's a raining today in La Fortuna, a town in the central region of Costa Rica which is known for its large active volcano, and for some hot springs. As everything here is lava-centric, there is absolutely nothing to do (or see- with the fog I can't even really confirm whether there is a volcano nearby, but I guess I'll take its dangerous proximity on faith).
But anyhoo, the upside is that this is the first place we've been at for weeks with an internet connection that can handle pics. We've been taking photos with our regular digital cam, but are having technical difficulties loading them, so everything here comes from our iphone ( aka- The Precious). As the Precious does not go to the beach, the collection is, well, frankly its pretty weak. But so it goes. Here's two from, let's call it the surf board collection.
Both pics were taken in Mal Pais where we had an awesome time getting walloped by the "easy" waves. My board length is currently 7/7 which means its huge and that in the teeming waist-deep wash of MP, we were more enemies than friends- though we did have some good times together. Bruises are already gone!
And behold, a monkey type, banana-seeky.
We saw more animalitos at our hotel in Montezuma than we did the entire time we were at the cloud forest eco-preserves of Monteverde (that was yesterday). We even took a night hike and ended up in the absurd situation of trying to find, with flashlights, some small bug to FEED TO A TARANTULA. I feel like large spiders should not require my assistance.
And we were tickled to find an Eat Me! tribute in CR, because we keep the faith that Eat Me! is in fact going to go MAD GLOBAL!
