Pictures from recent Costa Rica trip (and GTG)

Don't have the trip report yet, but I do have a giant photo album with nicely labeled photos at https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/1...97940271520865

We visited Puerto Jimenez, Bosque del Cabo, the Westin Playa Conchal (two thumbs up for those of you who wondered) and Los Lagos in Arenal.

That's the boat owner's dog. Cute huh? The dolphins were fascinated by him, you could tell they were trying to get a better look. Guess they don't see many animals.

Yes, super cute, and he looks like he's keeping a good eye out! Which cabin did you end up getting at BdC?

Enjoyed your photos, Monica - looks like your fun continued after our time at BdC, for sure! You are way ahead of me on posting photos from the GTG, still trying to edit them. I loved your dolphin pics - you had much better luck than we did last year. I am missing Costa Rica.....

No, but I am the one who would be very happy to go my whole life without seeing a puma up close and personal so that was a win for me.

Thanks for sharing - great photos and I really enjoyed the trip report too! Who was the tour operator that took you on the tour of the Golfo Dolce and would you recommend them?
