A very loud howler monkey

Roadside pizote

garrobo - lizards were everywhere

Relaxing at our second house, Casa Cocha

That is a real scorpion!  Needless to say, I didn't sleep well that night.  

Pochote Tree

Pochote flowers - We found out from Christobal and Marlene that they are edible.  Will and Claire made us a salad out of them.  My portion has a bit too much hot sauce. 

Saying goodbye to Marlene and Angelina:(

To keep the dust down on the roads, molasses is thrown down in buckets.   One of the drawbacks was when Will got his flip flop stuck in the syrup and skinned his toe.

Our shuttle drivers home.  Grandma and Grandpa picked us up at Newark with a bag full of warm clothes.  Thank goodness as it was 93 in Costa Rica and dropping below 20 here.   

Will and Claire are so happy to see Grandpa and Grandma.  It was a long trip!
