Julie and I spent the last couple of weeks in Costa Rica. About 30% of its land is protected, and the country's second largest industry is Intel - one company to rule them all. The country is surprisingly undeveloped for a place that sells $1M plus condos to rich Americans retirees. Personally, I don't think I'd retire in a place where crocodiles routinely feast on human flesh unless it had good medical care, but that's just me.

The trip was a little bit on the adventureous side, almost too adventurous. We visisted pretty much the entire country apart from the South West which is hard to access. Apart from bumping around in boats and buses, we spent a lot of time scuba diving, hiking, river rafting and sleeping.

The most amazing nature thing was by far Torteguero and the turtle nesting. The most pointless thing was San Jose. After 30 minutes of walking I had already been offered hookers and drugs and god knows what else - my spanish is not that good. Here are some more photos.
