trip to costa rica with my dad

What a great trip.

Not just the natural beauty of the country but a great pleasure to spend so much time with just me and my dad. From drinking JW Red every night before pigging out at all you can eat buffets to getting completely drenched by rain on a riverboat as you are hunting wild beasts to photograph to sitting on the bus on route to a fantastic destination as the tour guide instructs us on the famous sex tourism and prostitution within the country. (no, we did not take part)

a truly fantastic vacation/adventure that i will cherish for the rest of my life. Thanks dad for the memories! (i wanted to make a public thank you)

We cruized all around the country in a bus full of others on the tip. a lot of doctors on the tour so we were covered. Saw a ton of wild life, more than i can say i was able to document. But a howler monkey did take a shit on the porch of one of the cabins were were staying in. At least he did not throw it at us. Otherwise i would have been forced to retaliate in exactly the same way. And i had been eat all you can eat buffets the entire time. i think I'd win that battle

here are some photos from our great trip. now Gov and i are cruizin the pacific coast in hopes of epic surf, relaxing times, and new adventures.

Yo Buttface, it's Kev. That statue from the cultural museum in San Jose looks like Ken if he were to have a receeding hairline! Awesome!
