To Bird Island

Look - boobies!

Costa Rica hosts the Brown Booby (not as famous as the Blue-Footed booby)

This mangrove forest was on the coast, and filled with snapping, popping crabs.

We could hear them everywhere, like firecrackers, as we paddled along the still water.

Stopped for a leisurely lunch, ate fresh star fruit and lazed in a hammock.

On the return, we stopped for fresh coconut/milk, and ate aphrodisiac barnacles.

This rock is on my desk now.

How did they do it?

Best. Vacation. Ever.
