Day 21 - Saying Farewell to Costa

So it's the morning of our final day here in Costa.  The transport will be here to take us back to Liberia airport in a couple of hours.  A couple final shout outs before we wrap this vacation posting up.

To Diego Solis - one of the best all around horse guides we've ever enjoyed.  Anybody coming to the central Pacific part of Costa should consider doing an outing with him.  His website is:


To Colin Garland - a gentleman we met at the end of our hike to Witch's Rock.  Colin has a wildlife reserve up around Monteverde and he spends 6 months a year teaching students ranging from high-school graduate to college graduates about the plight of the wildlife here in Costa.  He also spends 3 months a year down in South Africa, another 2 months a year in Siberia or other similar places with wildlife concerns, and finally 1 month a year back in his home in Minnesota.  Anybody with aspirations about dealing with wildlife who wants hands-on experience to go along with the book smarts you can get from schooling should consider his non-profit.  The website for it is:


To the wonderful people of Costa Rica we met - you make tourism a joy here in your country.  It is obvious it is one of the high priorities within your culture and that's apparent every place we went.  Congratulations on establishing a fantastic environment to be enjoyed by all.

To anybody who followed along on this portion of the blog - thanks for taking the time to check in on this part of our journey.
