Around Costa Rica

While i have super duper internet access, here are a few more photos.
These are from the La Fortuna-Santa Elena trip. To get to Santa Elena or Monteverde from La Fortuna, most people use the Jeep-Boat-Jeep service. but that is a misnomer, in actuality it is a van-boat-van service.


Photos from Costa Rica

Here are just a few photos...
the beach in Cahuita.

a national park runs along the beach and it is known for it´s many plants and animals. i saw lots of monkeys- howlers and white-faced! The next day i had the amazing experience of standing on the beach under a group of trees and staring up at 20+ monkeys directly above me...um a quick message to the Singer, you would have never left!
Sunset my first night in Cahuita, this is the hostel, Shangra-La (quite appropriate name i think)!
View from the hostel, Gringo Pete´s Too, in La Fortuna. Oh and the volcano, Arenal.
From the main square in La Fortuna.
One of the waterfalls along the volcano hike.
Didn´t see any lava on the hike but certainly saw the smoke.
