Croc Day on the Tárcoles River

Today we went up the Tárcoles River to see wildlife and the crocodiles, including an insane guy who feeds them. We didn't think that that was actually part of the trip, but then he hops out. The big one is a croc that is about 18 feet long, and considered the largest in Central America. The other is one of the largest females. Terrific amount of wildlife, including birds and iguanas as well.

Playa Esterillos

We made it to San Jose, and spent the night there, in a nice hotel VERY nearby to the airport--some of the planes take off and fly directly over the street. The next day we rented the car, a few hours late, and then made it to Playa Esterillos late afternoon. Quite a few stops and starts, but then we had some time with Brother Joel and his boyfriend Dave.

Today we went down to the Quepos and hung around the beach. We are going to a reserve tomorrow and hope to see more.
