Costa Rica - Eruptions

Thar She Blows
Turrialba is her name, she's about 40 miles east of San Jose.  Not a full eruption, but enough to close the airport for a few days and annoy the hell out of everyone with a constant coating of ash.  You feel it on all surfaces.  As soon as you clean it off, it's back an hour later.  Keeps the outdoor cafe people pretty busy wiping down tables.

Costa Rica - Back Again

Two Weeks of Work, Some Golf Thrown In
Flew down Saturday night and woke up early Sunday to play a round of golf.  The course is an Audubon-certified wildlife sanctuary, for what that's worth.  I saw a wide variety of birds, many floating around on top of the hundreds of small lakes dotting the property.
