You had to wait, but it was worth it

we know that you all have enjoyed reading the blog. And that we have done a great job of painting pictures with words, but haven't posted any actual pictures!

Here we catch you up:

The Arenal Volcano, view as we drove from San Jose' to our first hotel in La Fortuna. It looked just as cool from our hotel. Notice that you can see the top. the LP tells us that this is rare as it usually covered in clouds/smoke.

Next is what we did while in La Fortuna. Before you get your hopes up, there are no pictures of Eskimo and Boring Barbara. Sara couldn't stand to be near them long enough to get a shot.

Here is Sara "canyoning":

Here is Lucia on a horse(Lucia did not choose this photo, as it is muy unflattering):

After all that time on the horse, here is the view from the top (before we climb down the 700 steep and winding steps):
What about Mrs Robinson's little boy toy? Oh yes, we got a shot with him. (you know that he was in love with Sara because he had his friend take one on his camera too. how sweet) Besides being the home of the lecherous white boys, Tamarindo is home to some vicious bugs. Sara uses 40% DEET as a mosquito repellant/aphrodisiac. Notice that she sprays it everywhere. Everywhere. Little known fact about the Pacific coast of Costa Rica - it actually slants downhill to the North. odd, isn't it?
In case you were worried about what kind of hellish conditions our 35 bucks/night got out in Tamarindo, here is the view from our little patio and then the little patio itself. And then, lastly, a bit of the absurd that comes with traveling, here is a shot of the local San Jose' grocery store and their maxipads being sold out of a cooler:

More pictures to be posted from Lucia's 35 mm whenever they get developed and put on CD.
