Costa Rica

We have been back from our trip for about two weeks now. I would love to do a really long post about our trip, but I don't think that I'll have time. We have been so busy this summer and Perry hasn't even been working! Here are a few pictures from our second day.
There were bars on every window in San Jose and most buildings had barbed wire on the roofs/fences. I was glad that we got to see San Jose, but I wouldn't want to stay there more than a night or two. It was really dirty, garbage everywhere. The roads and driving are terrible. There are huge holes in the sidewalks and if you look in them you can see the water in the sewers flowing just about a foot underneath.

This is at the Doka coffee plantation:

Poas volcano- we were really lucky to have such a clear view! This was so gorgeous. The volcano had a small eruption about 7 months ago. There 112 volcanoes in Costa Rica and 7 or 8 are active. The Arenal volcano erupts almost daily. That pool of sulpher water changes colour depending on the conditions.
