Costa Rica

View of our cabina from the path, in the morning on the way to breakfast.

Sick Coati again.

Cow field down below, lots and lots of green.

Walking to la Catarata de San Luis.





Beautiful flowers along the road.


I think Jason spotted this moth. Very good camouflage.


Tree porcupine. This is a New World Porcupine, which actually has a prehensile tail -- that means it can hang from its tail.

The river/creek along the trail. It's a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures.



Notice the people in the picture... it's a pretty big creek. The rocks were huge, and were an interesting mix of older looking rounded, gray, porous rocks, and newer looking multicolored rocks with sharp, squared edges where they've broken .





The water was so clear... it looked like it would feel so good to swim in it!

Heather discovering the Americas. She actually kinda looked the same when she surfed, too.

Geoff found something cool...

I have no clue what it was.



Arriving at the waterfall... it was huge!


Chris was the first to get in.

The brave ones.


They managed to find the one warm spot in the pool.



Henry being a goat.


Mr. Bill -- Oh noooooooooooooo!!!!




Plants on the way back.


Bug class. (Where I learned not all insects are bugs.)

I felt like I was living in the Others' compound from Lost.


A beetle I found.

And this is a wasp I caught. It injects it's eggs into a host (another insect, a fig, stuff like that) where they become larva and eat their host.

"Aye."

Identifying our insects.





My wasp decided she was not in a good mood after I moved her into the sun for better photo lighting.

I let Cameron release her -- I did not want to remove that lid.



This was pretty funny -- the cows take themselves on walks. So do the horses, in fact. They know their way around, come home when it's time to come home, and get to go eat wherever they want.
