Picture of the Day

Continuing my daily picture articles, I present you with today's picture:


Taken at the beach, this cute little Costa Rican monkey is one of the reasons of why it's so awesome to be here.

While I'm not too sure of the species, Mr. Monkey seemed to be 4 or 5 months old, very smart, and loves to eat bread, papaya, bananas... He's also a natural star and loved posing for all the cameras around him.

From what I've read, Costa Rica has 4 different native species of monkeys, more than most other latin american countries, except those with Amazonian rainforest, they are also one of the smartest animals of the animal kingdom and are one of the few ones that can see in color.

Picture of the Day

As mentioned yesterday, I am decided to post an incredible/interesting picture every day and make that picture, the picture of the day...

And following my commitment I present you, Today's picture:


Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica's most active volcano, lies in La Fortuna in San Carlos in front of the artificially created lake Arenal. Small eruptions are constant and could be daily, with displays of lava and ash, a true spectacle.

Arenal's biggest eruption was on July 29, 1968, where it buried a whole town killing seventy-eight people in the process.

Plan on visiting it? Well, book in advance! Hotels, Hostels and Inns in the area are usually occupied all year round.

Remember to bring some cash, because most shops and entertainment strips in the region are fairly pricy

Picture of the Day

Here's something that I plan on doing on a daily or almost daily basis. The "Picture of the Day".


Here, I will select the best or most interesting pictures I see, and post them, for all to see, with a little description of what's going on and why I like it.

Perhaps, at the end of each month, I will have a little poll where my friends and visitors can vote for picture of the month.



So, behold, today's Picture of the Day:






This picture is one of the many examples of why Costa Rica is paradise. 
Taken last year at Pochote Beach, which is close to Tambor and Montezuma , this warm afternoon sunset summarizes why I live here and don't want to go back.
