To the Volcano

I have given up trying to upload photos, it takes too long at 54bps so the writing will have to do.

In a couple of hours we are off to the Rincon National Park and the Rincon Volcano hike. The volcano is dormant (for now at least) so we should be safe. Ride there should be quite exciting. We have a guide,--sort of, Elizabeth from Maryland who is working here as the person who answers with all the internet inquiries and handles bookings for the resort and then joins Pablo and Ana in the meet and greet 24/7 hosting. We learned later she is called Director of Fun! We are driving our 4WD through several streams to get there but as they say here.. "no problem".The others guests includes two much younger couples from Seattle and Portland who we have "bonded" with over the past two days. Really nice people. One couple is about to adopt a baby from Ethopia.

Last night we were all talking about Barack and W and how much we were all hoping for positive change. I asked Elizabeth if she knew of anyone who ever stayed here who was not a supporter of Barack and she said "four people", then corrected herself and said "maybe three".

This is that kind of a place!!
