More from Costa Rica

These are a weird fruit we found at one of our stops. You tear
open the the spiky skin and eat the middle that has a texture kind of
like a grape. They were very sweet.
We spent an afternoon in some really nice hot springs ranging
from 94-153 degrees! Don't worry, I didn't spend much time
in these either! (Trav and Ashley)
This is a different volcanoe in Arenal. This volcano is constantly
flowing lava from the rim. Both nights we were there we watched
the bright, orange and red lava flow down the side of the mountain.
It was beautiful!
This is at a banana plantation. They have this huge line
crossing the street that moves hundreds of bundles of bananas from
one side to the other.

Here is everyone getting ready to go on the zipline tour
through the jungle. Unfortunately, the number one rule
is no pregnant ladies!

This is a little hard to see, but this is called a Blondie monkey.
They are very rare monkeys and we were really lucky to get
to actually see her. We also had a lot of fun watching all of the
monkeys jump from tree to tree. It was really cool!
Little, green spotted frog
4 little howler monkeys, sitting in a tree! These monkeys started
howling every morning around 4:30 am

A beetle we found one night in Tortuguero.
