    I'm sure the weather is great and you're enjoying the time away from home! (braggart)
    We are all glad you are having a good time! (not really, just green with envy)

    My brother just came back from Costa Rica and did some Rainforest/hot springs tour that he liked...

    Have fun, I bet they have some cool exotic trees over there.

    So how hard was it getting your saw through customs?:D

    Just kidding I'm sure the locals wouldn't appreciate you dropping exotic rainforest trees on their heads during granola laden nature hikes!:saw:

    Looks beautiful!

    It was wearing a 24" bar and they were cutting stumps in the sand :picard:. So far this place is amazing! I've eaten more food than anyone ever should lol. I've got zip lining this afternoon and a fishing trip tomorrow morning, followed by an atv tour for me and the mrs. Hope these pics warm yall up a bit :fire:

    Wheww we made it back! Ain't gonna lie, after a few days i started to miss home. The first thing i did when we walked in the door was light the friggin stove! It was cold in this house. Call me crazy but, even though it was in the 90's every day over there i missed the warmth and smell of the stove. :coldfire:

    Here's a few more pics from the trip

    I referred to this one as the C tree. Can you guess why?

    The needle fish i caught. We caught one other needle fish, a bonita, and a barracuda.

    Love it!

    I'll be headed to Mexico in a number of weeks myself. I love winter, but seeing palm trees at some point in winter is almost a requirement.

    Those locals are not so friendly. Cool to watch though.
