Costa Rica Monteverde
July 17th - 20th 2006
Monteverde: Rain forests, cloud forests and bumpy roads. A small town in the hills full of gringos, hotels, and restaurants surrounded by some great countryside.  David our Tican guide showed us the cloud forest by day and the rain forest by night.  Our hotel had a resident sloth too. 
Costa Rica La Fortuna July 21st - 22nd 2006  La Fortuna/ Arenal Volcano - Saw Arenal in action at night, watched loads of wildlife from a boat up the Cano Negro, stopped at Iguana Central and experienced some serious rain. 
Costa Rica Tortegaro July 23rd - 24th 2006 Tortugero - another gringo ville, Ticans taking $10 off each person at every turn. Saw Turtles laying eggs, rowed in canoes, cooked in the heat.  Kids had great time at the beach.
Costa Rica Cahuita July 25th - 29th 2006 Cahuita - small town on east coast. Horrible road to get there, but great hotel, wildlife and a relaxed atmosphere. Some great frogs, Caimen, Boat billed herons and got to see the 5 toed sloth. 
Costa Rica Volcano Poas July 14th - 16th & 30th - Aug 3rd 2006

Views of campsite and Alajuele before we started our tour of the country.
Poas Volcano: Having said goodbye to Sarah, Henry and Freddie we were off to see another live volcano. This time less active but got a lot closer. Did some real camping too, rain and all.
