Is that a mountain? Naw, its a volcano.

This is by far the coolest place i've been to. Our room is facing the Arenal volcano, an active volcano. Supposedly an active volcano is safer than a dormant one due to the fact that the dormant builds up pressure then explodes while the active slowly leaks pressure. I visited a local family today and had lunch at thier place. It was very modest, and makes me appreciate the things i have back at home, i.e. my studio apt. The people are very nice and appreciate my trying to speak spanish. I gained a reqal insite into Costa Rican culture. In addition, Costa Rican women are amazingly beautiful, who can argue with a year round tan?
