Well here I am in the Amstel Amon Hotel in San Jose, Costa Rica with a frog killer. I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's not like the killings were his fault. It is the rainy season and that apparently brings those little hoppers out onto the roadways where you can see their little white bellies as they hop-hop-hop-SPLAT-oops - run in front of a car. I have just never been in a situation where the roadkill is frogs. Squirrels, opossums, but not frogs. This is a new experience.

We went to Tabacon Hot Springs this weekend, which was as beautiful as it was the first time I saw it. We were actually able to see the volcano and saw and heard it erupt various times. Normally the cone of the volcano is covered in clouds and so it is difficult to see the ash (during the day) and the lava (at night). We were able to see both (I just did not get a picture at night), which was very lucky and cool.

I am supposed to travel around with Joseph while he is working this week, but it seems like that is going to be complicated, so I am going to probably take off for a day or two, maybe to Manuel Antonio National Park. It is supposed to be very beautiful and since there are so many things to do here, I need to take advantage and get out there and see things.
