Scenes from my last trip to Costa Rica for the foreseeable future

this costa rican hermit crab from playa superfaraway, at the service limits of our brave kia subcompact, possessed a feisty and defiant attitude to go with its unusual home;

we left footprints

before eating chuletas in the watchful presence of the neighborhood chickens;

i have no images of the drive to alajuela, but it was eventful; here is a church;

Add caption, indeed;

i think this is the gulf coast of texas,

and whoa, flashback, another hermit crab, this one more private;

here i add to my fine collection of wing pictures, and this one i like a lot;

one of these does not belong with the rest,

but while we're at it, another city: dallas.

goodbye, alajuela. goodbye, costa rica.
