Costa Rica (July 08)

Our B&B in Alajuela	Orquideas Inn	The hot springs at El Silencio del Campo (shhhhhh!)
Tabacon Hot Springs		"This is the best place I have ever been. Ever."
Each spring was a different temp, typically 105-degrees and up
Sure they look nice, but they taste just awful	Apparently they don't have barber shops in Costa Rica	Just my luck: We finally make it to a volcano, and I forget to bring the sacrificial virgins
Kinda like Indiana Jones, but without all the courage and charisma	La Fortuna Falls
Typical American, stepping all over the locals	Angela & 3 horse's asses	The view from our cabin porch
	Drinking up some local flavor in the "Lava Lounge"	Patiently awaiting our next Guide
The journey into the jungle took 5 hours by car, and then another 2 hours by boat	Befriending the Locals	Hard at work on the banana plantations
A typical river settlement	Where the jungle river meets the Caribbean	En route to Tortuga Lodge, circa 1927
	Our teak mansion
		"Isn't there supposed to be an airport around here somewhere?"
"Oh. There it is."		Marisimo's Magic Tonic
	Our trusty one-eyed guide, Norton	"Come on in... The water's fine."
What he's thinking: "Damn, I wish I had my camera."	"Come on in, fat boy."
	Almost everything in the jungle makes one want to dash away screaming, while slapping your head	Marisimo works his magic on the ladies
"You're frickin' kidding me, right? Tell me you're kidding me."
