There is this nice little town right on the Pacific Ocean.
There are many houses that front this beach.
That’s a serious longliner. Since when did they come with helicopters?
Looking at Costa Rica.

I’m not wealthy… so I need to work and earn income occasionally. Found a cheap 2 bedroom house for rent ($130/mo.) and bought a cheap car. And, I’m now working with Antonio building boats. Presently I’m building a plug for a new boat design. When it is finished, we will build a mold over it and have a new design for sale.
I start out with wood.
And a set of plans.
Behind the shop is a river to launch the boats and the edge of the rainforest. This male howler monkey was pretty loud, and I got this picture of him…

Back to my favorite zoo. In Zoo Lujan you can enter the cages with the animals.
We jump on the subway in Buenos Aires for the beginning of the journey. Then we take several trains out to Lujan.
These lions are just spectacular. And, being up close is really special…
In the monkey cage. This is a howler up close.
My roommate trying to get that monkey off his back…
That is just a very funny expression. It looks as though the other has just said something…
Aldana on the camel.
Elephant rides.
This is such a great zoo. Everything is interactive. And, there is an amazing amount of animals just walking around with the people…

Love the story about Columbus and the red moon. But got out and had a chance to shoot some pics of it…

I had a chance to witness Carnaval in Buenos Aires. Having grew up in New Orleans, I have an idea what Mardi Gras is like. This is very close.
Very colorful costumes. But… the simpsons???
Definitely a “The Mask” look alike… Was keeping my eye out for the dog though…
And, what would a parade be without bands?
Doesn’t everyone just love a marching band?
The other fun thing about it was the herds of kids spraying each other with cans of perfumed soap… Wish they had that when I was a kid.
And, popularity has it’s price… the more popular, the more foam…
All ages where in the parade.
Great food along the sides of the routes.
Definitely a fun time was had by all… especially if you were a kid. Though, I saw some grownups (old kids) getting into the foam wars also.
Definitely an enjoyable time at the Carnaval…

Went to the Reserva to shoot pictures of animals. Using a 400mm f5.6L lens.

Had to go out of the country to renew my visa. Went to Colonia, Uruguay.
Trying to “shoot the moon”…
Lots and lots of new building construction.
