On our way... ROAD TRIP!!!

The week before Alex left, we drove to Heredia, where Jurggen lives (near San Jose) and then toured around a bit in the mountains - far from the Caribbean Coast!

We visited two different places- the thermal pools at Bosques and the Cloud Forest at Villa Blanco, not far from Arenal, an active volcano.  It's so different from the tropical landscape- and I was very surprised to see all the agriculture and cattle grazing so high up in altitude... I really LOVED it all!!!
