Costa Rica Pictures
I’m working on organizing my Panama and Costa Rica albums from (gasp!) March of this year. The Japan pictures from August are also on my "To Do" list. I have a lot more albums to go through, but here are the first three I did today. There are also links on the left hand side [...]

I’m currently in Alajuela with Ras, arriving here from Montezuma via bus, ferry, and bus. We’re in a PC room (or internet cafe, as everyone outside of Korea calls it), burning the pictures we’ve taken onto a CD for me to take home tomorrow – 2 Gigs worth! I’ve put the idea of going home [...]

Where did I leave off? We left Quepos and Manuel Antonio and headed out to Uvita. Looking back upon it, I’m not really even sure why we went south. We had considered going to the peninsula at the bottom of Costa Rica to see the internationally acclaimed nature reserve there. It didn’t take a lot [...]

We’re now in Jaco after leaving Manuel Antonio and going to Uvita for two days. We’ll be here for another two days, then off to Montezuma. It’ll be my last beach until I fly home to Oregon on March 21st. No pictures to post now, just checking email and letting everone know that things are [...]

We’re in Manuel Antonio right now… one of the busiest tourist places in Costa Rica. I can see why – the beach and the national park is great. Unfortunately, things are expensive here (compared to other parts of Costa Rica). We’re staying in Quepos, a ten minute and 25 cent bus ride from Manuel Antonio [...]

Zoo Ave (Bird Zoo) is the biggest bird reproction center in Central America. It breeds and rehabilitates birds, reptiles, and mammals before reintroducing them to nature. Visitors can see 100 bird species, like the elusive quetzal, which is the aim of most bird watchers who come to Costa Rica. This zoo is one of two [...]

We went to The Butterfly Farm in Mariposa today. It was interesting to see the different species flying around and having some actually land on me. Still, I think $15 was too much to charge for the video and guided tour. This butterfly farm was the first of its kind in Latin America, and provides [...]

I have a Sony digital camera that I’m using on this trip. If I go to an internet cafe with Windows XP, I have no problem uploading pictures because XP will recognize the camera and install a driver. The last two days in Alajuela, I’ve only been able to use computers with Windows 2000. That’s [...]

We arrive in Alajuela this afternoon and I’m currently using the 30 minutes of free internet service that my hostel provides. I can’t even upload pictures because even though the operating system of this computer is WINDOW XP, the computer is an IBM(!) and doesn’t have a USB port. I didn’t even know IBM still [...]
