    A shitty cell phone pic from Manuel Antonio National Park in Quepos, Costa Rica

    bonus:

    Saw this cool frog, took a picture, showed to this guy, and he was like “oh those are like super poisonous”

      They are poisonous because of their diet. We had them around where I grew up but they were not native and, without their natural diet, they were not poisonous.

      They’re extremely cute as froglets!

        Some photos while driving. One of the downsides is driving in Costa Rica is an intense experience that I would not recommend. We got a deal where a car rental was only 50 cents a day if we added it onto our flight so it was like why not! They only had manual which was fine, I can drive that, but keep in mind because it also meant I had to do 100% of the driving as my partner is like most Americans and has no idea how to drive a manual. But when we picked it up the clerk was like “have you ever driven in Latin America before?” when I replied no he looked a little alarmed. It was challenging

        There was a sloth, these were actually really hard to find. Hide and seek champions, way up in the trees and blend in well.

        Monkeys however, were all over the damn place. They would unzip your backpack and steal your shit if you didn’t pay attention, apparently. We were also warned to not leave bags outside because raccoons would apparently also do this
