The Boat Trip

The calm, muddy river we were waiting to travel on.
A french family (well, the parents) we met coming and going.

When you are missing a leg - get creative!

Our "ship" comes in

Some handsome Ticos (native Costa Ricans) on the boat next to ours.

That chicken sure looked good.

A MOTORCYCLE???? The were amazing loading these boats.


Mom and babe in the loaded boat. The white things behind her are sand bags they transport to Tortuguero to build up some of the beach areas.
They use these oars to push the boat out bit by bit as they load up. If they didn't it would never leave when it was fully loaded.


Off we go.
