Rana In The Rainforest

Rana In The Rainforest, a photo by Megan Lorenz on Flickr.

I'm in Costa Rica again and having a fantastic time. I love this country.

Highlights of yesterday:

- Walking around alone in the rainforest at night searching for frogs and finding at least 7 species!!
- Hummingbirds!!!
- Watching hundreds of leaf cutter ants walking across the road at night carrying their pieces of leaves
- The drive from San Jose to Arenal. It will take you 3.5 hours to drive 83 km without stopping.
- Wandering around La Fortuna
- The Arenal Oasis Lodge

Didn´t think it was possible but this trip is already topping last year´s visit to Costa Rica.

At a new lodge today and it looks really promising. On the map it said this lodge was only 7.2 km away from the Arenal Oasis but it took us 35 min to get here. I've seen worse roads obviously (I've been to Africa!!!) but was happy when the drive was done. Had fun watching a Coati tear apart a guests garbage and spread it out over the lovely manicured garden. Can tell they are related to raccoons!

This photo was taken with a 100mm and my new Canon Macro Ring Lite. LOVE IT!! Can`t believe the detail I`m getting!
