collecting




I started collecting these bracelets in 2007 after seeing them in Greece and Turkey. I have made a few of my own. I don't know what it is that I love about them. Well I love charms, I love beads and I love peace signs, buddhas etc. So maybe it is not so much of a mystery.

We came across this sloth on our hike. We thought he'd scamper away but he kind of just settled in and posed.

Our first outing was a hanging bridge tour. Loved it. Scary at first then we were nothing but amazed. Beauty was all around us.

Arenal Hanging Bridges is one the most beautiful environmentally-friendly projects in Costa Rica. Located in front of the Arenal Volcano and within the corridor followed by migratory birds between North and South America, the project's trails and bridges bring you close to the birds, flowers, and lush vegetation of the primary rainforest. With safe and easy access, the trails allow you to walk right into a beautiful forest. The imposing hanging bridges overlook a dense canopy with volcano views looming in the background.

We are back from our Thanksgiving Break family field trip. We had a wonderful time in Costa Rica. After a 2.5 flight from Fort Lauderdale we landed safe and soundly in the capital city of San Jose. We immediately started off for the 3 hour road trip to our host city La Fortuna. Interesting drive through the mountains, cloud forests, dirt roads, cows just hanging out in the middle of the road. We did arrive safely and hungry in La Fortuna. The only food available to us was cup of noodles for the local grocery store.
