Here are some photos from my day trip yesterday to Tortuguero. On our way there we passed by LOTS of banana plantations, and a field of pineapple. Then I went on a boat ride through the canals and saw white face monkeys, spider monkeys (video), a real life basilisk (it can walk on water), butterflies, and lots of birds! Then we continued on to Tortuguero beach for a quick stop.

| The tour guide insisted that I have this photo, but he would tell me why. He just said go stand over there, and DON'T smile! |

| Can you spot the baby pineapple? In the middle section of the picture, slightly to the right of centre. |

| The bags make sure all the bananas ripen evenly, or else the ones on the outside would get more sun than the ones on the inside. Apparently they have figured out that the bags don't have to be blue and are currently testing other colours. Also, contrary to some rumors these banana plantations do not employ children. So buy whatever bananas you want! |

The spider monkeys are gutsy! Look at this...
