I am finally getting around to posting just a couple of pictures of the volcano that we went to see a few weeks back.
Behold Volcan Poas!
So, you get some idea of the volcano –but of course nothing can compare to being there and taking it all in – in person! Truly awe inspiring. According to reports inside the visitors center, the volcano has erupted several times since it came back to life in the 40’s. It’s most recent eruption was in 2006. Apparently these are not really big eruptions that cause damage –mainly lots of steam and ash and minor earth tremors. Where we are is right to the side and below this volcano and to the other side and slightly above us is Volcan Barva. We have only gone to the gate of that park so far. We have not seen it yet.
Maybe we will save that for when someone wants to come down here and visit?
Our next adventure will probably be our trip to Nicaragua. That will be the second week of October. Even though we are legal to work, the process has not gotten quite far enough that we do not have to leave the country after 3 months. So –our 3 months is coming up. Wow! Time sure has flown. It seems at times that we have lived and experienced so many new things here that it has been almost years already. Time is funny that way.
Our plan is to go to Grenada and Lake Nicaragua riding the bus from San Jose, CR to there. Once we are there we are going to find an inexpensive hotel to stay in for 3 or 4 days since we have to be gone for a minimum of 72 hours. While we are there we will likely get to experience the “Chicken Buses”. We will tell you all about it later.
So… until the next folks… be good to one and all and don’t forget to eat all of your vegetables.

The volcanoes are impressive! When we come to visit you can take us there to see them. Time really has gone by in a hurry! You will soon have your girls down there to take sight seeing! Don't wait until we are there to show them the volcanoes! Who knows when we will have any money for a trip like that! When did Kevin ever eat all his vegetables? I bet he has never had his 5 a day! You guys are getting a lot of experiences under your belts. You can call yourselves world travelers, pretty soon! Love Mom & Dad
The volcano is awesome. I know there's no lava, but I always thought lava would be cool to play with, the consistency is so intiguing. I know that will never happen, I don't want to get burnt. Maybe someday I can at least see it. I can't believe you've been there for 3 months already. You have had a lot of interesting experiences, I can understand why it feels like years. We hope you have fun in Nicaragua. Will Tiffany and Cassie be there by then with you? Have a great time with them.
Love,
Tracey
Awesome pictures! Did you guys actually climb all the way up to the top? That would be some exercise! We look forward to seeing all the sights, and adventures in Nicaragua, as well as C.R. We love ya!
