Hey Guys,

I was in Central and South America last week on a business trip and spent the weekend with some friends in Costa Rica. The first two pictures are from Poas Volcano. It's a national park and smells like sulfuric hell. I hope I'm never there when it finally erupts. Beautiful park, though. Usually it's cloudy, so we were lucky to get in a few shots. We planned on some mountain biking, but it started raining like crazy right after the pics and the area is prone to mudslides.

We had just finished watching the F-1 Italian GP, so I was still in my BMW-Sauber garb.

Also, at Aurora Airport in Guatemala City, I snapped this pic while waiting at the ticket counter.

Great pics Calvin. Um, that sign though, not sure what to say with that one - what exactly is a "penal trial"? Maybe I don't really want to know :(

The volcano is beautiful.

I suppose the author of the sign at the Guatemala City Airport needs some English lessons. Did you go to Antigua when in Guatemala? Pics of Agua or Fuego? I love that place. Haven't been there in about 6 years but would love to return.

Nah. Only had the one weekend in CR on this trip. Antigua is cool, though. I lived there for a while and try to get back when I can.

I think it's one where the punishment is "Inserted"!! :whistle: :lol:

Great pics ...

Penal not Penile! :doh: :lol:

Great pics Calvin! Thanks for sharing.
How often are you down in Costa Rica?

I'm surprised Dave hasn't PS'd this photo yet ... :whistle:

Usually every six months on business. My wife and I go for vacation about every 3-4 years. Since I lived there for a few years, it's mostly hanging out with friends.

Nice pics, that's on my to-do list. Thanks for sharing.
