LaDonna

Great Flicks Tim, thanks for sharing....... Ron

Tim, I like the second bunch of photos a lot!!

I think we need to hire Elvira to be a guide for a group trip.

Wowwww those pictures are awesome, Elvira will be THRILLED. Great job, buddy !!!

Tim, awsome photos! WHAT EXACLTY is that animal??? Boy, makes me want to start planning that trip with Elvira to visit her family...hmmm...2006 me thinks...SSG, you out there? We need to chat!

Tim, more photos please

Tim I love the picture of that coatimundi! Was it a pet? Doesn't look to be in the wild. Your other photos are beautiful as well. I sure do want to go back to Costa Rica. Tom is right! Elvira...when are you taking us?

Cynde - coatimundis, also called coatis, are the South American version of the North American raccoon. However, they have really long strong tails. They are awesome! We have one at the animal sanctuary.

Jeanine, it looks as if it is in the "dog-pooping" stance. lol

You are too funny...here I was thinking it was just trying to catch its balance while looking at something. LOL!

Hey - I have those pine cone lilies growing in my garden! Now I know where they're native to! They get a real pretty bright red just before declining. Very nice shots!

That guy was standing up on his hind legs like a raccoon begging for food...he is wild but hangs out by the gift shop for hand outs...

here's a shot looking down at the city from a 6000 + foot hike up a mountain

Gail- I think those pine cone looking things are in the ginger family

OMG Tim! He is such a chunker! Our coati, George, is a real con-artist. He loves it when childrens programs come on site because he gets marshmallows. George also loves cheese. They are such amazing creatures. I'm glad you got to meet this one.

Tim, THANKS for sharing those pics. Absolutely beautiful. You must have been at Volcan Irazu in Cartago or Volcan Poas? Love the shot of the city, looking at it - it makes me to go back!!

Cynde, we can plan for next year. Quecha's 50th birthday is in July and I know they will celebrate it in big!!! Then you will definitely meet everyone

Would love to take a group to CR, it is a beautiful country, its people, its mountains, food, etc., etc.

"THE FOOD IS FANTASTIC"
sorry had to yell it!

Kelly....you KILL me...here is sweet Jeannie, thinking it's trying to catch it's balance, and you think it's taking a poo...ROTFLMO...I am snorting I'm laughing so hard!

Jeannie, thanks for the critter ID...they have a huge cat tail...definitely an interesting looking animal!

Vira, Quecha's 50th birthday it is girlfriend! I'll have to tell Michael and start planning! woohooo!...Quecha's got a hip...;-)

Seriously, how is Quecha doing?

Cynde love it - Quecha's got a hip!!!!
She feels great and her boss is very happy that she is back. No pain - goes out dancing, walking, etc., etc.

Tim - WOW!!! Beautiful photos - more please!!!
Elvira - can other BTrs go????? What a wonderful trip that would be So lush and green - and to see it with a native, you just can't beat that.
ps - I have to look through my customer list to find the spa (we sold them a bunch of medical supplies) -- the other guys go down and set up the rigging for the traversing through the treetops.
Thanks again Tim - just gorgeous

Of course, everyone is invited.
My friend who has a dive shop in Atlanta is taking a group of about 20 people to CR in November and the places they are visiting are fabulous. This will be there 2nd trip to CR.

Tim, thanks for the beautiful pics! Two close friends of ours are leaving for Costa Rica for ten days in the morning. I'm excited for them!! LOL. Lots of exploring and hiking on their excursion/adventure. Can't wait to hear all about it. Carole

Thanks Tim - they just may be in the ginger family. I planted them from bulbs, and just remember that the label was pine cone something, and it could have been pine cone ginger. They spread every year, and I wind up radically cutting them back.

Are you ready for Katrina? A bunch of my in-laws are in Ft Myers, so we'll be watching carefully. We just expect a lot of rain here in Central FL.

Wow! That looks bad.

We're still dry here, despite predictions of having rain by now. It looks like it already made landfall in the southeast. My mother-in-law is right off the river in Alva, so we always worry about them if the water level rises. Just so this one doesn't pull a 'Charley' on us! Hang in there, Tim!

HOld on Gail, Kathy, Doo and Tim! Hey, where has Kathy been anyway?

Kathy is about to experience her first Florida hurricane!!!!!!!

Great pics Tim! And good luck with that hurricane! YIKES!!!!

thanks babs... Hope it poops out by the time it gets to this side of the state...

Beautiful pics Tim! Elvira, I am happy that Quecha is doing well! I hope everyone in Florida stays safe.

Tim, that looks really cool. Where were you in CR?

Elvira - mostly parque del Este near San Rafael, Mt. Irazu and Puerto Quepos...

Thanks Tim!!! That looks like soooo much fun
Is this your group going across - did you get to do it?

Tim, did you travel to Costa Rica directly from Bonaire?
Toos

Tara - yes, It was thrilling...

Suizanne - I took a direct flight out of Orlando FL on Martinair...Last Oct. trip was AA Tampa to Miami to CR but we missed our connection by 3 minutes and had to wait in Miami for 7 hours for the next flight....I live in FL.

Tim, I'm glad you are using our airline... Martin

Martin, glad to know you have an airline...

Me too Babs, me too... LOL
