An Unexpected Treasure

While taking a drive near the Turrialba volcano, we came across a little jewel of a restaurant. It's actually very family oriented with a playground area, pony ride, farm animals. On top of it all, it's a trout farm with thousands of rainbow trout from fry to what appear to be 4-5 pounders! Needless to say, the restaurant's specialties all center around trout dishes!

Jordan was fascinated with the pony and the chickens and she enjoyed feeding the fish.

The ride to Turrialba Volcano

September 15th is Independence day in Costa Rica (as it is for the five countries of Central America) and is a holiday for us. I took the opportunity to go for a (relatively) long ride on my bike to see Volcano Turrialba. The first photo shows the closest I could get, as the road was closed past that point due to the drifting smoke emanating from the volcano. The second photo is looking the opposite direction and sort of makes it look like I'm standing on top of the world.
