Arenal Volcano

Last month we did experiments all about volcanoes in preparation for this trip. We had been talking about volcanoes and pointing out the volcano as we travel around. Finally it was time to go visit it. You buy a timed ticket to take a gondola to the top, or you can hike it. They did have the option of taking a zip line back down, but our kids weren't big enough.

Riding the gondola up!

We made it to the top and we were inside a cloud. As you might have noticed from yesterday's photos the top of the volcano is almost always in the clouds. We wanted amazing views and great pictures. Instead we were all wet, cold, and couldn't see anything. We certainly won't forget that and I'm still glad we went.

Here's a picture from the trip back down.
