It´s A Wild Life...

Iguana On The Beach, Costa Rica
After Playa Tamarindo, we spent a few days in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. Then, we took a bus to the small town of Santa Elena, in the mountains. We are in the cloud forest… basically, rain forest in the mountain, and so high we feel like we can touch the clouds!
We are going back to San Jose tomorrow, leaving Costa Rica soon… for other adventures in the South of the South! More later on that…
But meanwhile, these are some of the animals we met in Costa Rica. I have not included pictures of mosquitoes… damn blood suckers!

You live in Canada! You should be used to the mosquitoes! LOL!
Heh! Mosquitoes are a fact of everyday life, irrespective of where you travel.
I like that shot of the turtles.
Colorful and exotic! Your adventures never seem to end. What a great way to begin a new year!
Great pictures. The parrots are beautiful, the monkeys funny. The raccoon looks to be a different species than we have in the central USA. I hope the crocs were taken with a telephoto. They don’t look very cuddly. Sue and I spent the holiday in a stone cabin with a fireplace. We had no crocodiles, but the wild turkeys were neat.
Have a happy and exciting (but safe) New Year and keep posting. I read your busing post to Susan and we both enjoyed it. You actually are a very good writer — but you knew that.
Mozzies are an annoying lot in the tropics. Do you hv mozzies too in freezing Canada?
