Sunset walk at Buena Vista
Well, I wanted to try out the picture functionality, so this is just an excuse for a picture! But I'll tell you the story anyway.
Imagine a late afternoon walk in Costa Rica. Walking through the forest we were delighted to come across a family of howler monkeys. We weren't sure why the guide was urging us along, until suddenly the monkeys expressed their displeasure physically by peeing on us.
We were still laughing when suddenly the guide gestured us to stay back, and swung his tripod around to use as staff in front of him. He was dancing back and forth and we couldn't really see what was wrong. Once the path was cleared he confessed that there had been a very dangerous poisonous snake.
And a few steps further and we came out into this clearing, where we watched the sunset. It was especially sweet after the excitement of the hike

There is an old, hackneyed saying, "A picture is worth a 1,000 words". Although this chinese proverb was mis-translated and the correct literal meaning is that "a picture's meaning can express 10,000 words".
