Manuel Antonio and Turrialba

Hola!
We left Manuel Antonio this morning after four days of mostly working on curriculum.  Manuel Antonio is a touristy beach town, which was a big change after the rural tourism experience at Asoporola.   Even so, we all appreciated having internet access and warm showers and a nice pool.  Our hotel grounds were full of monkeys!  (See photo below) They swung from the trees and walk right past us poolside.  A large iguana slithered up to our table as well.  We noticed some of the other hotel guests feeding it - not a good idea.  I'm also including photos of President Laura Chinchilla from our first week - one with our group and of course I'm always the tallest and always in the back! I've discovered that I can copy my friend's photos from facebook.  So, I've added a photo of me and Kalee after ziplining and a picture of me as I'm boarding our plane for Puerto Jimenez.  I'm also including a photo from one of the most mystical/magical places I've ever been but it's hard to describe.  It was an artists home in Asoporola, Monteverde, and the ladder that you see leads to his treehouse.  Everything in the treehouse is made of recycled materials and as you can see, he used old tires to make the ladder.
