Volcan Poas

Ok, figured it's been long enough without posting these, here are a few more pictures from my time in Costa Rica with Ale... My last day there we headed up Volan Poas to see Central America's largest crater! And when we at 8am that morning, the weather was lovely... but by the time we made it up it was down pouring, bleh! Still, it was a fun experience. Wet, by fun!

Ale-Vero (her sister)-Me
On our way up the mountain...excited and dry!

When we first got up the mountain it was a complete bummer because you couldn't see a thing, the crated was covered in cloud and, Ale was so bummed at the day...
So we hiked to this lagoon,
and we could see some of it but... got slightly damp taking this pic...
see, the lagoon!
The water is supposedly super blue...
I had a river inside my shoes,
poor little Toms were SOAKED
But I sang in the ran
...and danced a little too :)
And so did Ale and her sister, we definitely made the best of it
After we were thoroughly frozen, we treated ourselves to a delicious packed lunch-that Ale prepared-and indulged in some sweetness while we waited for the bus, but it turned out the battery had died in the bus and we were stuck for an unsaid extra amount of time = lame!
But after about an hour, not quite so lame because, the sun came out and we hiked back up to the crater and it was clear!
Saweet!
Trip complete.
Then we got to play with this little guy...
what a scavenger but,
he totally performed for Ale's emanadas - haha!
Super cute!!

After like, forever the bus man finally called a second bus to come up and get us... it was kind of a bummer having to sit at the top of the mountain for 2 hours waiting but.. still definitely a great experience & and really fun day.

AND, now I can say that I have seen the largest crater in Central America!! :)
