Here are some pics from the ziplines. The one of me is very fuzzy I now, but it's the only one I have.



The first two photos are of a tree growing up through a restaurant -- one from inside and the other from across the street at the ice cream shop. This is downtown Santa Elena. The other two photos are of the CEC school campus where we did our service projects.


Here are some pics from the caretaker's house at the Monteverde reserve, where San Luis waterfalls are. Note the fine looking Costa Rican chickens!

Odd and interesting plants on the way . . .



Here are some pics of the views and terrain up to the San Luis waterfall.



Here are a few pics of our concrete project. You can see the extent of the project -- we started out with dirt and rocks and made the entire pathway in 4 days.



Here are a couple views from my bus stop. This is Mariana, the 5 yr old in my house. Her brother, Raul is in the background near the building. He is 7.


Here are a few pics of my house The woman used to own a mattress store I guess and these were all stacked up at the far end of my bedroom. The others are of my bedroom, the "bathroom" and the outside of the house. As you can see it was quite large, but not finished inside.

A few photos from the kiosk at the top of the school property, looking back down at the town.

A path in the woods at the CEC school, a sunset view from our hotel, monkeys in town and the garden at school.


Local food, the gang, the bay and the bus ride on the railroad tracks.
