Wow, I just realized that a whole year of COVID has gone by without us taking a trip anywhere or doing anything. I came to see what our last trip was, and noticed that these pictures had never been published. Shocking! So, today I will try to remember what these are even about!
I do remember that in Costa Rica there was a thunderstorm, and I remember because the kids and I had scheduled a zip-lining excursion, and while I don't mind the rain, I wasn't that keen on zipping through the forest amid lightening.
There weren't many folks around, so we had a nice drizzly walk before our outing.
The kids are ready to go!
Here we are on the bus to the rainforest for our fun. As we are driving we pass a bunch of places that are preparing pineapples for international shipment.
The view out the bus window.
These are loaded with pineapples.
Here we are off the main road and onto a back road that winds up to a mountaintop.
Trying not to look too excited. Because I didn't have any pockets I had to leave my phone on the bus. So no pix of the actual ziplining. We did see monkeys in the tree-tops, which was exciting. You can get an idea here:

Back on the ground, we saw some of these amazing frogs.
Heading back to the bus.
In this photo, we are in Honduras. The last time we were here the kids were so much younger, and it was so much less developed. We decide to forgo a tour and just walk around the town to the beach.
As usual, these two are AMAZING sports and just go along with walking until we get tired.
We make it a couple miles to this beach where we just hang out and collect rocks and shells.
Time to head back, but not before making some music.
Last stop on this trip, Belize, where we all try stand-up paddleboarding.
We wind up here, ready to go!
This was super fun
Now it's time for some swimming!
Happy New Year!
When we last visited Costa Maya it had been devastated by Hurricanes Dean and Felix. The town was mostly closed or destroyed, and the main street was shuttered except for a few street vendors.
Not anymore. This place is JAMMED. Everything has been rebuilt and there are tons of shops and restaurants.
We just walked around the port until we were ready for a swim.
Sea turtle!
