Mars: Costa Rica

We sure had a lot of fun today on our jungle boat cruise of the Tortuguero Canals, in Puerto Limon. Of course it was gloomy and rainy weather – as is the forecast for the entire Mars adventures.

Anyway, the rain fit right in since the Tortuguero Canals are in a rain forest. Our tour guide, Angelitos, was informative and humorous. The bus ride was 30 minutes, then we spent over an hour in a covered jungle boat cruising one of the canals. We saw wild life that Angelitos pointed out to us, assuring us that they were alive and not plastic. They certainly were real. My camera did not get good pix of all of the animals, but I did manage to zero in on the sloth, and a blue heron.

We barely got started on the canal when we saw a sloth hanging in a tree. We spotted a white and a blue Heron. Gorgeous, but small. I will need to “blow up” photos when I get home to find them. I am writing this our on our veranda. Still no land in sight, however, a couple white and black sea gulls are flying alongside the Mars

We are at sea today, to reach Honduras. Actually, it is Roatan – a small island off the coast of Honduras. The most prettiest beach ever seen on a postcard. I will be the judge of that! Of course, you will get the whole report 🙂 Anyway, this is the “postcard” image that I will compare to the actual thing.

Stay tuned !
