May 2004

Los Sueños Marriott Resort was wonderful! Well, being upgraded to a beautiful suite overlooking the enormous pool and the Pacific Ocean did not hurt either! They also had a large marina, where we saw a lot of fishing boats and yachts - and, of course, a scenic view of the hills beyond the resort.

Shawn even enjoyed a round of golf at Marriott's own Iguana golf course. It was beautifully cut through the majestic rain forest. Dre even enjoyed driving the golf cart (replete with Heineken on ice) and enjoying the view!

Small Image \| Large Image The crowds came out to watch Shawn play.	Small Image \| Large Image Gorgeous tree. Where is Tarzan?
Shawn and Dre went far off the beaten path, deep into the jungle to discover some of Costa Rica's highest waterfalls - Bijagual Waterfalls. The tour we went on combined horseback riding and a strenuous hike. The reward was a swim in the invigorating (read: cold and murky) waters of the naturally formed pools.
Small Image \| Large Image A real toucan!	Small Image \| Large Image I have a sudden urge for Fruit Loops!	Small Image \| Large Image We actually identified all three species of toucan in Costa Rica.	Small Image \| Large Image Can we stay here?	Small Image \| Large Image Great view!

Small Image \| Large Image This is the best smile I have for you. All this trotting is giving me a sore bum.	Small Image \| Large Image The horses took a break, and then it was our turn.

Small Image \| Large Image A millipede bracelet! Trendy!	Small Image \| Large Image Termite nest. The jungle is chock full of bugs!
Small Image \| Large Image If you enlarge this picture a whole lot, you might be able to see the tiny green and black poison dart frog sitting on the back log.	Small Image \| Large Image There is the poison dart frog again! Dre, don't step on it!	Small Image \| Large Image Around the corner, we finally had a peak at what we had been climbing towards.	Small Image \| Large Image Leaf cutter ants were some of the most amazingly industrious creatures, which we saw in Costa Rica.	Small Image \| Large Image Hormigas! (Ants!)
Small Image \| Large Image Bijagual is actually a 'gourd' and the name of the nearby village.	Small Image \| Large Image It is a looooong way down!	Small Image \| Large Image Beautiful!	Small Image \| Large Image Can you hear the thunder of the falls?	Small Image \| Large Image Dre takes another photo...
Small Image \| Large Image I am surprised we made it up here.	Small Image \| Large Image Bijuagual is one of Costa Rica's highest waterfalls.	Small Image \| Large Image Whoop! There it is!	Small Image \| Large Image The view from the falls is not bad either.	Small Image \| Large Image Shawn getting ready to take a few more pictures.

Small Image \| Large Image A little further down the mountain, Shawn takes a break at one of the natural pools.	Small Image \| Large Image Dre and Shawn hang on to the rope so that the current does not take them down the rest of the mountain.	Small Image \| Large Image Save me, Juan! Save me!	Small Image \| Large Image This is the worst known picture of Dre ever!	Small Image \| Large Image Shawn is wary of all the mud in the water from the recent rains.
	Small Image \| Large Image It's freakin' cold!	Small Image \| Large Image I'm still the King!	Small Image \| Large Image Whoa! Whoa!
We drove through some of the most scenic countryside, including mountains, rain forests, valleys and pastoral scenes en route to Costa Rica's most active Volcano. Arenal Volcano is constantly erupting. When it is not hidden in clouds, it is visible from the Tabacón Resort and Hot Springs. We stayed at the resort and spent two wonderful days in the hot springs. As a result of the weather, we only caught a couple of glimpses of the volcano in the daylight, but we managed to witness two small eruptions from the dinner table on the second evening.
Small Image \| Large Image Shawn was in charge of driving the ugliest, small 4-wheel in Costa Rica! Joy!	Small Image \| Large Image We stopped for lunch at a very creepy and deserted hotel. It reminded us of "The Shining".	Small Image \| Large Image This is the view from the scary hotel. Let's get out of here!	Small Image \| Large Image The drive was long and rainy but beautiful.	Small Image \| Large Image Tabacón Lodge was part of the hot springs complex.
Small Image \| Large Image Steep hill!	Small Image \| Large Image A glimpse of Arenal Volcano!	Small Image \| Large Image Arenal Volcano was shrouded in clouds most of our stay.	Small Image \| Large Image The water in the hot springs is heated by the volcano.	Small Image \| Large Image The hot springs were very picturesque.

We spent the afternoon of our second day at Tabacón enjoying a private river rafting safari. Our guide trained us to call howler monkeys, and we even spotted a group, who answered our calls! We stopped at a banana plantation to look at poison dart frogs and at a spartan yet rustic house to enjoy coffee, pineapple, bread and cheese with its 93 year old resident. He explained to us that the secret to living so long was "not dying"!
Small Image \| Large Image On the way to the raft, we saw a three-toed sloth asleep in a tree.	Small Image \| Large Image Shawn is sitting in the front of the rubber boat.	Small Image \| Large Image The majestic (brown) river...	Small Image \| Large Image Watch out for that crocodile!	Small Image \| Large Image The recent rains caused the erosion, which muddied the river.
Small Image \| Large Image Maybe if I smile more it will stop raining.	Small Image \| Large Image This is another kind of of poison dart frog.	Small Image \| Large Image This frog looks like it is wearing blue jeans.	Small Image \| Large Image The banana plantation was infested with these little frogs.	Small Image \| Large Image I'm the king of the world!
	Small Image \| Large Image We approached an island, where the two rivers converged.	Small Image \| Large Image This very old man lived without water, electricity or gas on this island with his family.	Small Image \| Large Image The old man is excited because he just kicked our ass at U.S. trivia! ¡Olé!
Río Tárcoles is infested with crocodiles and garbage from San José. From the bridge above, it was very fun to watch the crocodiles jump and snap at the chickens that the tourists would throw at them!

The canopy tour was quite a thrill. We traversed through the tropical forest on a system of platforms and cables.
Small Image \| Large Image Shawn is ready!	Small Image \| Large Image Dre is all geared up to go!	Small Image \| Large Image Shawn nervously awaits the 'Go' signal.	Small Image \| Large Image And he's off!	Small Image \| Large Image Move over, Tarzan!
Small Image \| Large Image Dre is anxiously getting ready on the platform at the far end of the cable.	Small Image \| Large Image You, Tarzan! Me, Jane!	Small Image \| Large Image After the sixth cable, the challenge is gone for Shawn.	Small Image \| Large Image But getting off of the cable is another story... Ow! I have a major wedgie!	Small Image \| Large Image This is a view of the "honeymoon suite", where the guides will gladly leave you for the night.
	Small Image \| Large Image Shawn and Dre agreed that the Marriott was a lot better than the "honeymoon suite".		Small Image \| Large Image Dre earned a nice meal back at the resort - corn tortillas and beef and papaya hash! Delicious!
On the way back from Tabacón, we decided to take a detour to stop at Poas Volcano and at Sarchi. Poas Volcano is actually one of the largest craters in the world, a supposedly impressive sight with an emerald green lake at the bottom. Unfortunately, the only things we saw were rain and clouds. The weather was just as miserable in Sarchi, home of the arts and crafts of Costa Rica, such as ox carts and wooden furniture.
Small Image \| Large Image Dre gives Poas Volcano a big thumbs down.	Small Image \| Large Image We stopped in Sarchi just in time for lunch.	Small Image \| Large Image IMG_1854.JPG	Small Image \| Large Image This was the best meal that we had in Costa Rica!	Small Image \| Large Image Caution! Cows are crossing everywhere!
On our last full day in Costa Rica it was looking rainy at Los Sueños, so we were torn between spending the day at the spa or heading down to Manuel Antonio National Park. Fortunately for us, we picked the park. The weather was perfect and it was totally worth the drive. The park is known for its beautiful views, white sand beaches and diverse wildlife. We hired our own guide and spent hours hiking around watching animals. Manuel Antonio is a must do if you go to Costa Rica.
