Quick update today to let you all know I'm still alive. We got a taxi up to the volcano this morning, but instead of leaving us about a 2 hour hike from the top like they told us he was going to do, he drove up a treacherous switchback dirt road all the way to the top (3500m above sea level). And unfortunately all the paths around the volcano are closed because apparently it's too hot. So we didn't get our hike in, but the volcano was awesome and considering it's rainy season we got some pretty spectacular views of the surrounding areas too. It takes too long to add pictures, and it's extremely stuffy in here, but I'll get some up eventually. So now we're back in Turrialba way earlier than expected. We may just relax for the afternoon, or we may rent bikes or something if the rain holds off and see if we can't get a little exercise like we had expected :-)
That's it for now! Hope you are all celebrating Canada Day in style! If I were still in San Jose (which I'm glad I'm not), I'd try to find the embassy and celebrate with other Canadians, but unfortunately I'll have to figure something to do out here with the American couple that I've been spending all my time.
Buenas Tardes!

Buenas Dias! And a Happy Canada Day to you, Kaila. We had a great day. The weather was very unexpectedly beautiful. Not even any fog over the harbour for the fireworks. GG, Chris, and Peter took us out on the boat. Your pictures and blog updates have added to the fun and the conversation around here. That white-water rafting sounded pretty exciting! Love, Mum
