And Sharon's description of the day she and I had for this hiking adventure is exactly accurate. I have never hiked so much in one day and seen such a variety of areas. Great day though! It really was reflective of all of the wonderful flora, fauna, and critters that Costa Rica has to offer.Julie ScottsdaleDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540864800524356267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486504529519277316.post-45646743645642112512009-02-07T08:31:00.000-08:002009-02-07T08:31:00.000-08:00I got to thinking that I should have been a little...I got to thinking that I should have been a little more descriptive about the adventure that day. Starting with horse-back riding over rocky terrain, climbing down (and back up of course) to a fantastic waterfall, hiking what seemed like miles over very steep, rocky and barely visible paths, making our way over streams (without bridges), encountering all kinds of wild animals and one poisonous caterpillar. Observing bubbling fumaroles and boiling and steaming streams. And, all that on an empty stomach! I think we both slept on the ride back to Tamarindo.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486504529519277316.post-9252585491915016722009-02-07T08:29:00.000-08:002009-02-07T08:29:00.000-08:00Great shot and wonderful to read about such a forw...Great shot and wonderful to read about such a forward thinking place.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17469878511196407233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486504529519277316.post-77298425612915521232009-02-07T07:18:00.000-08:002009-02-07T07:18:00.000-08:00I remember this hike very well.

I love trees and at first I thought this was going to be a post about Costa Rica cutting down its forests and selling the wood to Japan.<BR/><BR/>I was absolutely stunned and extremely happy to read that your country and government are in the habit of planting millions of trees. It is something that all of the governments of the world should do as this planet is not is the best of shape and trees or monumental forests of bamboo would assist in our planet breathing.<BR/><BR/>Excellent post and great photo too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
