Finally home after a couple of wonderful weeks in Costa Rica. I miss it already. A special thank you to my friends in CR: Alexander, Herardo, Edwardo, Yehudi, Francisco, David & David. Look forward to seeing you again soon!
Last year I arranged transfers from location to location. This year we drove which was so much fun! At times it was an eye-opening experience but from now on.....I'll be driving myself around Costa Rica and enjoying the freedom and peace it gives me. We were held up a bit on the way to the airport but luckily we'd been told it was a bad route and to leave lots of extra time. We had to wait for landslides ahead of us to be cleared before we were able to continue along the road going through Braulio Carrillo National Park. Only in Costa Rica ;-)
I was thrilled to have so many opportunities with the Collared Aracaris at David's place....the Costa Rica Nature Pavilion. This one is probably my favorite although I haven't had much of a chance to go through the images while I was gone.

Rana In The Rainforest
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!
