La Paz

We took a day-trip about 2 hours out of San Jose to the La Paz Waterfall. Mark's brother, Tom, was in town, and we wanted to explore part of this beautiful country with him. The state park surrounding the waterfall has a humming-bird area, a butterfly garden and aviary. We tried our first cup of hot sugar-cane milk. Wow, I could drink that every night before bed and sleep with sweet dreams.

It poured rain all three hours that we were at the park, but our ponchos worked great, and Reagan loved splashing in the puddles. On the trail, he loved being in his "tent." Really, it's a hiking pack with a rain canopy.
