I just wanted everyone to enjoy twitter for the first time.

Rainforest Picture.

After four hours in a van bumping along the dirt roads we jump into a boat the floats quickly across a gorgeous lake we I learn later is the grave site of an entire village.  We arrive at Arenal Resort and are greeted with 4 star treatment.  The next day we hike through the rain forest, then down a cliff to a cool swim at base of a waterfall all before lunch.  We go sit at the bottom of the volcano then travel to the hotsprings to relax. It was all a very full day but one I hope to not forget for a while.

My sister has always wanted to go to Costa Rica since high school.  It all started when she started an after school, grass roots club to save rain forest and it was all to buy land in this particular area of Monte Verde. More specifically the Children’s Rain Forest. Our afternoon there was filled with odd cultural combination, Zip Lining, and a suspension bridge walk.  Then the next morning we traveled through the cloud forest looking at trees that had spikes, and figs that strangled the life out of the trees that would suport them.

Hidden in a vault in San Jose is a collection of gold that Predates Columbus. The figures are for rituals, burials, and shamans. All of these pictures were taken in the Museo de Oro Precolombino.

The Selected Photos from Lindz

So it was a great trip. We traveled for 9 days, and saw rain forests, jungles, cloud forests, cities, beach towns, a volcano [hidden by clouds], a multiple shades of beaches. We all had cameras and they are all being put together in a single group, but I know as a group we have crested over 2000 photos, thank god for digital because it would cost an estimated 900 dollars to develop all of that. But here is collection of photos that my great friend Lindz took.

So sometimes is time for a history lesson. Enjoy this video and yes it ends in a musical.

The Internet In 1993 – Watch more Entertainment

This was an article from Yahoo News. You can’t make this stuff up.

Police in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery.

Vigilantes took the black and white beast to the police saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into a goat to escape arrest after trying to steal a Mazda 323.

“The group of vigilante men came to report that while they were on patrol they saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. They pursued them. However one of them escaped while the other turned into a goat,” Kwara state police spokesman Tunde Mohammed told Reuters by telephone.

“We cannot confirm the story, but the goat is in our custody. We cannot base our information on something mystical. It is something that has to be proved scientifically, that a human being turned into a goat,” he said.

Belief in witchcraft is widespread in parts of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation. Residents came to the police station to see the goat, photographed in one national newspaper on its knees next to a pile of straw.
