Costa Rica - September 2004
 
 


We spent Labor Day weekend 2004 in beautiful Costa Rica. This is a photo of Arenal volcano, which erupts every few minutes. Note that one side of the volcano is green and thriving, while the other side shows the effects of the constant eruptions.

The Pizotes

Everywhere we went, we saw these cute animals called "pizotes". They came running whenever we drove by, hoping to get some crackers.
