Lis's Project 365

Because of our trip there is, of course, no food in the house. Which can only mean one thing…a trip to Russo’s!

At this point, we’ve been awake for about 30 hours, just spent the last three with an incredibly fussy toddler behind us, and all we want is to get our luggage and go home.

Doug and I spent the day moving around the various salons and patios at the hotel, killing time until our late night flight. This handsome dude was in the outdoor patio, guarding the “pool” (which was all of ten feet long).

We went zip lining today. I was fairly terrified, but still managed to do it. It was fun, but I think I can consider it something I can check off my list of experiences and not do it again.

Here’s Doug, zipping in and showing good form.

Once we’ve posted the entire gallery of pictures from this trip, I’m certain you will see Doug’s pictures of this beautiful jay. What the picture won’t show you is that the jay was one of several who were very cooperative and completely unfazed by our presence. Here’s Doug and our guide Mario taking advantage of the birds’ lack of interest in them.

We arrived at Arenal Observatory Lodge today, but is is unfortunately rainy and cool. But not so bad that we couldn’t go on a short hike to a nearby waterfall. After today’s long bus ride, which included about an hour on some Class IV roads, it was good to be moving around.

Went for a hike at Careras National Park today. Beautiful place with very good paths. When we came across this random doorway, Doug commented that it looked like something off Lost.

Leaf cutter ants are cool.

while back at home they’re getting a snowstorm…

Today we went snorkeling, something I have never done before on Christmas and am not all that likely to ever do again. Sadly, I do not have an underwater camera, so I have no shots of the many fish we saw, just this picture of pasty white North Americans heading back to the bus after a great morning on the water.
