Zip Line

2500 feet long, 60 stories high, 50 MPH....Poor Ray...

Arenal Volcano

Most of the time here in Arenal, the volcano looked like this...

Today the clouds parted, and we were treated to this view...

Even the smoke plume was visible...

Rafting

Our first class 3 white-water rafting experience...
Everyone seems to be having fun...well almost everyone...

Ray almost has a smile on his face...

Oh, smile gone...but Ann seems to be having fun now...

UH OH...

Fun time over...

Well at least she's still on the raft...

And conscious...I think...

The Springs

Arrived at The Springs in Arenal late yesterday afternoon.  This place makes the last hotel look like a Holiday Inn Express...

Leaving Arenas

Last lunch...

Last dinner...best "hole-in-the-wall" EVER!

Last shot on our balcony...

OK, this is the last shot...

Romantic Dinner

I forgot to post some pictures from Ann and Dave's romantic dinner for two on the beach.

Wedding Day

Ann was ambushed....a surprise vow-renewal on the beach of Manuel Antonio....there was a professional photographer so I don't have any pictures of the actual ceremony.

But I do have a picture from the honeymoon morning....LMAO

Manuel Antonio Park

Had a tour of the National Park on Tuesday morning...

Saw a white-tailed deer...actually petted the white-tailed deer...

Saw a sloth or two in the trees...

Was treated to a toucan...

Was FRIGHTENED by this look!

ATV Tour

On the way to the waterfall, we got to see the little green poisonous frog...and no, I wasn't going to hold it.

A little relief from the hot humid jungle conditions...

Afterwards, we go to have lunch on some farm...of course I pet any animal...mange and all

Not too many complaints from Ann and Dave on this morning's ATV tour.  I guess it's similar to their lawnmower at home...

Close Encounters

Some of our close encounters....

Hermit crab orgies...

Giant iguanas that jump from roofs just to scare you...

Monkeys galore...already bored with them...

Breakfast

Ray learning to cook tortillas...I figured he already knew how to do that...

Delicious breakfast...amazing views...

Walking off all those banana pancakes with coconut syrup...

Horseback Ride

Went on a horseback ride today.  Funny, the city folk (Ray and Michael) did better than the country bumkins (Dave and Ann).  The best part is that in lawless countries, you can run the horse as fast as he will go...and I did...

Arenas Del Mar

Once we saw this view from our balcony, we realized it was all worth it...

And you enjoy this view while lounging in your private jacuzzi...

And the shower is to die for...
