Just returned from a great trip to Costa Rica. Went zip lining and hiking in the Arenal - Lafortuna rain forest area. All I can say is "Simply amazing!" I saw howler monkeys, sloths, snakes, frogs, parrots, toucans and a whole array of the most gorgeous flowers and greenery that I have ever seen. I took some great pictures and video to share with my students. Below is a picture of the Arenal volcano. I was mesmerized by its power and beauty. From where I was staying, it looked like the "perfectly" shaped volcano...just as if one of my students had drawn it.
