Costa Rica

Ben & TerriDecember 2012

We’re on the road from our first destination, Arenal, to our second stop, Monteverde. The weather was rainy in Arenal so we don’t have many (any!) pics from there.

A big tree covered in vines in the cloud forest at Monteverde.

A picture of the inside of the tree—it’s hollow! An old tree used to live here but died and rotted away. Now the living vines stand on their own.

A caterpillar in the cloud forest.

And a waterfall.

We also hiked on suspension bridges above the cloud forest’s canopy.

A coati raids the trash can at the park’s office.

Terri wanted to find one of Costa Rica’s unusual red and blue frogs. The real ones are poisonous!

A group of monkeys lived near our cabin in Monteverde.

Terri is feeding bananas to the monkeys.

The monkeys really liked the bananas.

A squirrel also visited us at the cabin.

We went zip-lining in the cloud forest.

Our last stop was Tamarindo. An iguana greeted us as we walked around town.

We ended the trip on the beach at Tamarindo.
