My family took me to see this Volcano! Clearly, the pictures do NOT do it justice. I mean...I just looked at hole into the earth with smoke coming out! How cool is that!
Things to note: very touristy. My family laughed a lot because EVERYONE was speaking Enlgish! And also - it was expensive. Ok, not expensive in US $, but on a Peace Corps salaray EXPENSIVE. They charge one TOURIST as mush as it costs SIX Costa Ricans to enter the park! Soon I will have a Costa Rican Registration card though so I will be able to visit places as someone who lives here.
Also - when Lauren came, her friend taught us how to say 'My paycheck is in colones, not in dollars.' in Spanish so that we can say it when everyone thinks we're tourists and tries to overcharge us. I tried to tell one man I was not a tourist and he definitly did NOT believe me!

Hello Daughter,
Loved your Blog AND the pictures -
especially after your brother
showed me how to enlarge them!
The volcano came out of the computer.
Guess you must continue to work on
that Spanish so you can convince the natives that you are poor:)
Love you -
Mom
