Pura Vida! Costa Rica is beautiful. So this is really a place holder, the one day crossings are really hard to keep up with journalling & blogging, but I'll get back here. In the meantime: We went to Arenal Volcano, where you could see the top of the volcano glow red at night. During our visit we paid a home visit to Don Juan's organic farm where we crushed sugar cane and picked fruit & vegetables for our lunch, where we helped to make fresh tortillas. The finca (farm) was really cool--they collected methane gas from the cow dung which they used to heat their water. We did a canopy walk through the jungle, and saw howler monkeys, including a baby howler monkey. And then it poured (they don't call it the rain-forest for nothing). Our last day we went ziplining through the forests--we went on a 7 cable-segment trip. Some of the cables were over half a mile long and we zipped at up to 60mph. It was truly exhilarating--and actually over rather quickly.
Yay rice, beans & plantains!
