Liberia and Rincon de la Vieja

The drive up to Rincon de la Vieja park was an interesting one. The roads out here are mostly gravel and not nice soft small gravel. It´s very bumpy, but Ticos are used to it. These are pictures from our drive up in a cool old jeep. The taxi driver stopped and picked us some local fruits to eat.











We went to Rincon de la Vieja park and stayed at a nicer hotel than we will probably stay at in the next few months. There wasn´t much else around, so we went over our budget. It was VERY nice though and no scorpions OR spiders! It was on a ranch (hacienda) and there was wildlife all around! We even heard them all in the middle of the night - roosters, dogs, cows, horses, etc. Crazy! A Costa Rican squirrel had fallen out of a tree and the staff was keeping it and feeding it milk - it was so cute!

from personal experience I can tell you that squirrels that grow up being fed by humans will eventually want to feed on humans. Watch out.

I totally agree with Glen - especially as I enjoy your trip from my windowless cubicle back here in SD.
