the change in our itinerary took us back up to the Arenal area with Linds and Gav to the tiny mountain village of El Castillo. ever since Volcán Arenal erupted in 1968 it's been spurting volcanic rock constantly. in the last four our five years it's been falling on the northeast side and the best place to view it now is from El Castillo. our room had huge picture windows and the bed was set up for convenient night-time viewing. it was crazy to realize that we were just laying there all comfy watching the center of the earth spew forth. when Ash woke up around 2:00 am we brought her into our bed and just watched it until we fell asleep again. better than watching reruns by a long shot.
in the morning we watched the hedge flutter with humming birds and took a little swim in the pool overlooking Lake Arenal. then Linds and Gav headed out to the coast and we headed back to the city to catch our plane the next day. indeed, El Castillo was a grand finale to our tropical adventure. we're happy to say that we would recommend everything we did and everywhere we stayed in Costa Rica.

Great photos, and to think that volcano just keeps flowing. Was it kind of like watching rain outside the living room window? That's what I think of when I read your description.
