Costa Rica Trip Dec 1st to 9th 2001 with my 

dear friend Michael (again)

 

Beautiful Valley

Right before my first rafting trip

This toucan is real!

Volcano Arenal--it's alive

This one has long eye lashes

This reminds me of Taiwan 25 yrs ago

Owl eye mariposa (butterfly)

More beautiful mariposa

This monkey should be in National Geographics

Who's that handsome dude? ;)

Michael peeing in his pants.. just kidding..

Us and the girls...

Us and the women

This farmers' strike kept us waiting on the road for 10 hours

Finally after crossing the bridge (the little Huyndai carried 15 Americans!!)

Crossing Lake Arenal to Monte Verde
