The festival in Nicoya was interesting. People were everywhere, the parade lasted well over 3 hours. And it consisted only of students in bands. Drums and bells. That's it. Including the ocassional dancers and flag holders. Venders around sold typical food....pork or chicken on a stick with rice. Rice with everything. Tried my luck at a pinnapple/carrot juice and it was delish!
My lunch in Barra Honda. Joe, a Ranger there, told me to eat the entire bowl. It was leche con tortilla's heated up. Hahah. Couldn't stop laughing
The decent into the cave, 17 meters down to start, deeper once inside.
Cute little guy!
Huge....HUGE centipede
Named "the family" another natural formation of calcium
The caves started as a centimeter of calcium carbonate

Hidde room, untouched
coral fossils
Eggs anyone?
Waterfall or exploded milkshake...

She was coming through the hole we all had to crawl and twist through. Not normal for the human body to do this, it made the experience!
"holy moly"
Sharks teeth???
Just another day in a cave......
They call the big things hanging papaya
We sat here and chilled for a bit before leaving, so awesome!

Christian and his mom, preparing coconut juice
In the morning in Barra Honda, I was on the patio with Christian's mom and she started screaming. This Boa was 1 meter from the patio. It was completely still until Christian came.
Then it regurgitated the toad and tried to run, but no luck.
Onto the celebration of Costa Rica's Independence day on September 15th. Went with a couple Germans, a few Barra Honda park workers and Christian to see the parade in Nicoya.
Kids of every size showing their stuff
Macy's parade, I think not.
