River boat tour. Rio Sarapiqui. Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, Costa Rica.
Crocodile. About 9 feet long. Just hangin' out.
Notice the trail he/she left.

Speaking of crocodiles, we saw the tail of one the other day. We were up a river near the Caribbean Coast, and there was an obvious path cut through some reeds on the bank of the river. Without thinking twice, the boat captain leads us into the reeds, inches from the tail of a rather large crocodile (or so I assume).
So what does the Costa Rican pastor in the front of the boat do?
He leans out of the boat, and grabs the tail of said crocodile! Crazy guy. The croc went splashing away in the blink of an eye, and the boat captain got us out of there as fast as he could. The four Americans in the boat were awestruck in amazement/fear. The Costa Ricans were just laughing.
Crazy Ticos.

You know what the Child Haven kids say...'crocodiles and lions gonna eat us, Auntie.' We're glad you weren't eaten.
