This
is the only picture
of Turrialba that I have.
However, you can find
more about this 3339 m
volcano elsewhere.

Where
skill and lighting
come into play, Jon can
always catch a great shot.
Here he catches Turrialba.

Jon
and Marisol pose in the
treehouse of the Volcan Turrialba
Lodge. When there,
ask
for Tony, he takes care of
everything.

The
next day, we drove to
Volcan Poás. Marisol's father,
Jorge, and his novia,
Olga, tag along too
(as in they drove us).

Admission
into the parks can
be too high for many people.
Often, they drove up the
volcano road and stop for
a picnic and good cheer,
without actually entering
the paid area of the parks. |

This is as far as we got, as
we did not want to spend the $
to see the volcano. Why? The
main trail to the crater was
closed, Marisol pointed out that
there was not enough value
without that attraction to
warrant paying, so we did not.

Instead, we had our
own picnic in the park.

Since
Jorge and Olga were not
coming back for hours (us
not entering the park was
not part of the plan), and cell
phones did not work there, we
began the long walk back
down the road....

As
steep mountains often
do,the road doubles back
repeatedly. When on foot,
one can rough the hilly
country and take a short
cut by going straight
down, which we did.

leading up, as we race
through property not
our own..
