Heading to Manuel Antonio Beach on the Pacific

We love to take the rural road to the Coast. (I showed a video of crossing the hammock bridge at the end of this road on a previous post.) This trip, we went in two cars with the Marders & Pyburns mixed between the two. Here's one of many "strangler fig" trees whose roots have completely enclosed the poor host tree. They are so beautiful in their complexity, but so deadly to the host.
The electric company was putting in light posts for new electrical service to this area along the route. Here they are cleaning up some large branches they cut which were obstructing the cable's pathway.
Aria here showing Sasha the Tarcoles river bridge which is famous for the huge crocodiles which reside just below it. (The tourist businesses at the end of the bridge insure that the crocs stay here by tossing them chunks of meat and chickens.)
Here's one of these big dudes. When someone tossed some chunks of meat down below about 5 huge crocs went after it like fleeing horses. These guys are fast!
