Exploring around the backyard

During the hardscaping, they did a lot of cleaning up in the backyard, so it is a lot more open now and easier to walk around in. I took a walk around the newly cleaned up backyard and visited the cool tree in the back.

Birthday Trip

Sophie and I took a trip for my birthday! This post is going to be a long one with a lot of pictures!

Sophie had arranged for us to get a tour from a guide, and I am really glad we did! When we got there, there were about a half dozen iguanas,which was really neat, they were really big and just watched you.   First, we went down one path, and the guide was able to find a family of howler monkeys.

 We went into San Jose today to run some errands, and since we were there, we went to the National Museum! It was an amazing place, and it is in a former military fort, which was turned over to the museum when the military was disbanded. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to see everything we wanted to, so we hope to be back again! Here are some pictures I took:   First up is the butterfly garden! It was beautiful! So many butterflies! The owl butterfly! The owl butterflies eat the fruit View from the ramparts of the fort The government building as seen from the museum A cool stone sphere in the outside courtyard area Coffee plants! Darth Vader with coke?   Fog awaiting us on our way home! (sign edited for privacy reasons)
