Volcano view from our hotel - it stopped erupting one year and 4 months before I got here!

After 2 days of non-working Internet at our hotel we are finally way up in the mountains and connected again. I will have to recall what we did and we are so busy it is hard to remember so the pictures will help.

San Jose, Costa Rica

We arrived a bit after noon CR time in a cloudy overcast sky. By the time we set out for our only real time in this capital city the rain was pretty heavy. A short stop is all that is needed because the city has little of note. The fumes of exhaust in the streets make my eyes burn. For a country that is supposed to be so into ecology and environment it hasn't really taken a hold right here. Tomorrow starts the real adventure. Is this picture reminiscent of Venice?

Off to a new adventure - Costa Rica

I am in countdown mode for an really early departure. Tomorrow we are to be at Cleveland airport at 4 AM for a 6 AM flight.  We are only to take carry-on luggage so packing is a challenge for 10 days in high humidity. Hope to have a few followers who will keep in contact.
