The DeYoung Museum in San Francisco: King Tut, with a side bonus of Amish quilts. So awesome. :-)

Today we went to San Francisco to see the King Tut exhibit at the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park, then we nmet up with Carrye and Aron for dinner in Half Moon Bay. Such a nice day! :-)

Ok, so I FINALLY finished uploading those Costa Rica pictures…

These are leaf cutter ants, quite possibly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Seriously.

I finally finished uploading my Costa Rica pictures, and blog posts will be forthcoming (no, seriously–they will! I just don’t know when!) Right now though I’m working on more photo processing–I have the use of a micro four-thirds camera for the week (an Olympus Pen EP-1) so I’m taking every chance to play with that and see what I think.

And I’ll get those pictures uploaded too–I promise. :-)

Another teaser picture

So on Saturday we were just pulling into the small town where we were going to stop for lunch, when out the van window I saw these lovely young ladies clowning around on a wall outside a school. Our van stopped about 1/4 mile past where they were, and I grabbed my camera and bolted out of the van to see if I could get a picture of them. They willingly posed, and I chatted with them for a bit before heading back to the restaurant where we were going to eat lunch. They were dressed up for a program that was about to start at their school. I guess I timed this one perfectly. I think this is my favorite picture from the whole trip.

I’ve got my pics from my time in Heredia on my Flickr account–click here to go to the gallery, and scroll down to the bottom to see the newest pictures. Tonight I plan to get the ones from my weekend trip to Monteverde up, and then I’ll start writing some blog posts to go with ‘em.

In the meantime, here’s one of my favorite pictures so far.

Cebollas y bananas.

A couple of videos

A couple of videos–don’t have time to write up an explanation, but it’s inside the school and the street in front of the school. I hope these work–no time to check.

Stadium graffiti

Saw this on the side of a stadium as I was walking a friend home, and thought it looked neat. I leave Costa Rica on Sunday… I wish I could stay another week at least. I’m having such a wonderful time! :-)
