I added some more pictures of a fairly recent trip to Costa Rica.
NOTE: CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO MAKE IT LARGER.
Arenal volcano - it is active and smoking which makes it rather unnerving to spend the day here. Back in 1968 it erupted and destroyed the town of Tabacon killing 87 people there.
Of course the place we went is the Tabacon Resort. But it makes you feel better to know that the management disavows any responsibility if the volcano erupts. By the way have a pleasant stay with us.
Anyway once the feeling of impending doom wears off you can enjoy the tropical plants and landscaping.
I think this guy is a helionia Rostrata or common name lobster claw
One of the streams volcano heated around 1o4 degrees. Perfect to take a dip in the hot mineral water. When you get out you resemble the lobster claw plant above.
Or you can stand under this small waterfall and let the hot water cascade over onto you.
A cool looking tropical plant. I have no idea what it is called.
And lastly my friend the Costa Rican Lizard . This little guy followed me around for the longest time.
This is a really beautiful place in a country that is a tropical plant lovers dream. My advice is if you ever get a chance to visit Costa Rica take it.-----------------------------sanddune---------------------------------------------------------------------
