Volcan Arenal


An evening glimpse of lava--


Timothy on the zip line




Things we enjoyed last weekend:

Not peering at the world from behind bars and fences for a couple of days

Hot AND hard showers--our widowmakers run either hot and soft, or cold and hard, but mostly vascillate between the two, and never hot and hard at the same time.

The scenery--God's creation in a whole new way. He could have stopped at mountains, but He made volcanoes, too! For His glory!

An alligator farm

Turning on the hot water faucet and having two wonderful things happen: water came out and it was hot!

A butterfly garden

Ziplining through the treetops of a tropical rainforest. There were 12 lines, one 500 meters long! Even got to see a honey beehive up close and personal! WOW!

Seeing the lava flow at night

Grass just a few feet outside our door

Waking to a beautiful view of the volcano in the morning

Geckos and lizards, and even a few lazy sunbathing snakes--our boys were loving it!

Hot pools--fed from springs near the volcano

Awesome slides going into the pools!

Cheeseburgers and fries--Hmmm. . .not like Fuddrucker's, but not too bad after six weeks without them!

Realizing that our standards are evolving here. We shared our restaurant floor with a few ants, and it was okay. Critters are a huge problem here, enough said.

All in all it was a phenomenal weekend, just what we needed!
