Saw lots of animals:
howler money
hermit crabs
cocodrilo (aka: crocodile)
"Jesus Christ" lizard (named for its ability to walk on water)
two-toed sloth
some animal i don't remember the name of
carriblanca monkey (eating a stolen sandwich)
Costa Rican deer
Scarlet Macaw (aka: parrot)
another hermit crab
toad
iguana(animals not pictured: toucans, squirrel monkeys, purple eels, geckos)
Were beach bums:
Ate lots of good food:
(my prize was a giant ball of crystallized sugar. a far cry from the fruit loop prizes in the states.)
Relaxed in hammocks (which turned out to be nearly a daily/nightly event):
Swung from trees (or cables tied to trees):
Drove through rivers:
Made phone calls (on the phone booth with the most beautiful view in the world):
Went swimming in "La Picina Natural" (that had cloudy water):
Hiked through the jungle:
Went shopping (aka: " WalMart Latin America"):
Saw a volcano (at least the crater of one):
And went to the temple...or rather saw the temple:
Yeah, so it was a great trip. And now I feel smug because I have a mid-winter tan. Although, going back to work wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. It's only day two and I already feel like I need another vacation. Yikes! I guess for now I'll have to escape to my memories of Costa Rica... Sigh.

We'll pick your brain when we decide to go :)

Britty, Jeff Golden here. Thanks a bunch for the Christmas card and the update letter. It has taken me about 20 minutes to figure this blog stuff out so I am happy to finally be able to write something. It sounds like you are doing well in the land of moss and lattes. Things are going well down here and it was good to see a picture of Harold (the old fart!) and Jeanna (Mrs. Nichols II). My e-mail is jeff17gold@yahoo.com. I would like to hear from all the Nichols gang as I get semi-annual updates from the big cheese: Mama G!! Love to you all Jeff
Your photos are fascinating. The trips looks amazing.
So much I want to talk to you about! I will keep calling you until you answer!
Looks like a great vacation!! Glad you had a good time and I am totally jealous of your mid-winter tan :)
Well, that's what you get for going for 2 weeks! Jealous am I! I'll be lucky to drop the baby weight before summer to get a mid-summer tan! Loved the Christmas card.
