The
suspension bridge is
rickety and bouncy, but
nice and strong, as it
spans the river, leading us
to the rainforest lands
beyond...

Not
very high off the
ground, we find even better
bridges later in our
Costa Rican travels.

Jon
and Marisol walk
timidly across, hoping
the bridge will hold and not
plunge us all to our deaths. |

Jon exudes no fear in his
journey across the bridge
'of death.'

A small trailhead begins
about half the distance over
the bridge, but on the other

Regulations
and rules, there
always seems to be a sign
telling those without common
sense rules of common sense.

The
base of this palm tree has a
base made up of many 100's
of smaller cylindrical growths.
This makes a great safe haven
for smaller animals trying to
escape larger ones. I have
never seen a tree like this
anywhere I've been.
