El Salvador - Mayan Route : I went to visit El Salvador for a weekend in July, 2007. We did a tour called the Mayan Route, where we saw many archeological sites. The first was the Pompeii of the Americas - a Mayan village that was destroyed by a volcano. This site was Joya de Ceren. We also saw the San Andres and Tazumal Pyramids, as well as the Coatepeque Lake. Unfortunately, the pyramids were "restored" by Germany in the 1940s with cement, and architectural details were artistically employed.

Alaska : We visited Alaska in May 2007. We toured Anchorage and Seward, and took a tiny plane to fly over Denali National Park, as it wasn't open yet to the public for the summer.

Nicaragua : We visited Managua in February, during their dry season. We were only there for a few days, but managed to get some pictures of Masaya Volcano. This volcano is very active and had clouds of smoke venting from it.

Los Lagos - Arenal Volcano : For my big 30th, we decided to go to Arenal Volcano, and stay at the Los Lagos resort there. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and rainy the whole time, so we didn't get to see the volcano. Allegedly at night red lava shoots out and rains down the slopes. We only saw red once. The resort was gorgeous and we enjoyed it immensely, even without the volcano. They had a crocodile farm/garden onsite, as well as hot springs with a wet bar in it and cooler pools with water slides.

Poas Volcano : We visited Poas again on a good day - after waking up very early several weekends to check the cloud cover on the nearby mountains. We got lucky this day and had a fantastic view of Poas Volcano. The aroma of sulfur was heavy in the air, and our lungs started reacting a bit. Here are a few of the pictures we took.

Mount Chirripo : Luis went on a three day backpacking trip to Chirripo, the highest peak in Costa Rica. I did not attend, owing to my asthma and my lack of interest in pain. Here are some of the pictures he took.

Hike to Poas Volcano : A 7-hour hike to Poas Volcano that was allegedly supposed to be a 3-hour hike. Beautiful scenery, but we didn't have adequate water or snacks for such a trip! I didn't get to take pictures of our hikes through the rainforest itself (raining and I needed my hands so I wouldn't slip in the mud), but here is a selection of some of the photos I took.

Tortuguero, Costa Rica : We visited Mawamba Lodge in Tortuguero over Labor Day weekend, 2006. Tortuguero is on the east coast, just on the Caribbean sea. Tortuguero National Park is a refuge for green sea turtles, who do their nesting every year there. Though we were not allowed to photograph the turtles (we saw them at night), here is a selection of the photographs I took during our visit there.
