A few more photos from Costa Rica.

These are mostly photographs of us having fun.

Paddy Rogers: International Man of Intrigue.

The exact moment when Emily realized she would be in the back seat with her brothers for two weeks.

A market in Cartago

Would be a view of the Pacific Ocean except for all the water that was there is in the sky.

William savoring deep fried pork.

Rice with chicken and hand made corn tortilla.

We couldn't get enought of those fruit smoothy things.

We did take a "chocolate and coffee tour" while we were in La Fortuna. The company we toured was Don Juan. It was a little expensive ($180 for the five of us). However, it was very well done and we throughly enjoyed it. They gave use a complete over

Cocoa tree flowers. They said that a species of mosquito is the pollinator.

Grinding chocolate old school.

Grinding chocolate really old school.

William asking some really deep question about chocolate.

This is what went into our handmade chocolate.

It was actually quite good.

A lot of process goes into making coffee beans drinkable.

Chocolate beans.

Different shades of freshly roasted coffee.

A traditional ox cart.

I'm not sure what William and Paddy are looking at but it seems to have paralyzed them.

This was a good place for breakfast in Quepos.

Russell liked it because they were playing a MLS soccer game on TV. LAFC vs. New York Red Bulls.

Russell explaining to Emily that you should always, without exception, root for whoever is playing the Red Bulls.

Emily: “Dad soccer is dumb.” Russell: …………………………………

Swimming in the Pacific.

One of the really nice things about the tropics.

I considered Costa Rican cooking very similar to Italian cooking in that it is peasant food that uses fresh ingredients, simply cooked. Also, don't compare it to Mexican food. Costa Rican food is not spicy at all.

Russell, William and Emily with a cardboard cut out of Paddy.

William trying to hide the Cardboard Paddy.

The tropics were hard on Emily…..

Paddy was so happy when he finally got a bed all to himself that he built a pillow fort to keep out intruders.

Paddy’s reaction when we told him he would have to share a bed with William in San Jose.

There really is such a thing as quicksand.

A deep conversation about Dragon Ball Z if I remember correctly.

Well, she is either pointing to Volcan Arenal, to what 156% humidity does to your hair, or that look you have after spending two weeks with your kids in another country.

Watch your behavior in the airport or you will get a time out.
