out to the jungle...

the road to Llano Verde...
past the local cows...
past the iguanas...
Dale pondering the questions of the universe...
yes, the dirt really is this red. and when it rains, it becomes slick red clay.
Clint, making a decision about crossing this temporary bridge...
hmmmm... can we take a 15 passenger van over this?

well.... let's try it.
all the passengers have bailed out and are waiting to see what happens.
Dale, helping guide him across the just-barely-big-enough-for-the-van temporary "bridge"...
sure glad we missed the wheel-sized hole there....
past pineapple fields...
past the Vocano Arenal, which showed itself to us... most of the time it remains hidden behind clouds.
yes, the 15 passenger van can pull over most anywhere if there's a picture that needs taking!
our day is graced with a gorgeous sunset...
oohhhh! ahhhhh!
