Hi Grandpa, Loved looking at all the Costa Rica pictures again. Brings back great memories of our trip! Diego

Hi Grandpa, Mom's right. It's much easier to view the pictures here versus the CD. I really like looking at them, especially the Tortuguero ones! Allisia

Bernie, I love the grasshopper but my favorites are the family photos. What a special time and place you and Ann have shared with Diego and Allisia. Cheryl

Looks like you captured a nice sampling from coast to coast. I know Allisia & Diego will always remember their time in Costa Rica, and inspire them to return some day! Keep up the excellent work!

Nice melange of contrasting venues reminiscent of some of the rain forests of America del Sur especially near Limon Cocha and the Rio Jantunyaco on the east side of the Ecuadorian Andes outside of Coca. I will visit these places some day.
An interesting mix of indigenous culture, the heart of darkness and modernity. Nice pix and rich color with clarity and composition appealing to all. It is beautiful country!
