Blogging interruption: Costa Rica

No regular art in this post.

We've been battling a lot of rain, too many hours in the car, and some lack of internet. And I personally have been battling two of my nemeses: spiders, and the impenetrable birds'-nest-Jewfro I get when it's humid.

In a zoo, not in the wild, these two. Nevertheless, it's one of the "good" zoos (or I would refuse to go). It's La Garita, and parrots and macaws are used for breeding and reintroduction programs.

Also at La Garita: a little turtle acrobatics.

Don't know what kind of plant this was, but it looked pretty freaky.

I love these guys, coatis (pizotes). They're the size of a raccoon, walk like a cat, have a mobile anteater nose, and big claws. One (who unfortunately had obviously been fed by humans, judging by his behavior) came up and nuzzled my hand. It felt just like a very wet and cold little dog nose.
