My attempt at a picture of the Mona Lisa 

In front of Effiel Tower... It was pretty early in the morning in Paris when we went to the Effiel Tower as you can tell by the color of the sky..

Back in the USSR... well, actually the US

Yes all, I am back. Just me, not my wife... she went on to explore the rest of Europe. We will be back together and once again be one big happy family. I am working this week in DC / N.VA... staying in a hotel. Though my alias has been uncovered (Robert Trout), I have successfully managed to get the hotel to believe my real name was Born Bony... Though they spelled Born the european way - Bourne - (they must know my wife is on tour).HeBang and Molle are both here, and lots of talk about going to the strip club for lunch, but we keep forgetting we are in Virginia... They dont even allow public intoxication here.

OK, all for now... it is late and time for bed... just wish there was someone here to find the remote for me.

While Robert was fishing in the chair that we searched for and finally found with the little cooler we also found. Note to all.. If you ever go to Costa Rica do not depend on buying beach chairs-they do no exist. People just sit and lay on the beach with no chairs or the help of drift wood. We could not believe this and I could not stay on the beach for all those hours without a chair and a book to read. (another good thing to bring-paperback books in english are also hard to find) Finally, we found some camping like store that had this chair and we were very thankful for it!

The waves in Dominical were not always friendly but somehow Robert stayed out there and kept letting the waves hit him.

In Dominical (Pacific Side)-He was standing where a river flowed into the ocean. He never really caught much of anything but he tried awful hard.

Over the mountain and around many many pot holes to the Pacific Side of Costa Rice. We seen the most beautiful cloud formations especially at sunset. It looked like a fairy land being so high up that you are almost higher then the clouds.

We like to think that was the Dad of the Monkey Family we watched 2 trees over. We seen the Dad a little later and he spent a very long time scratching his arm pit!

If you look close you can see the 2 babies and the mom. She kept a watchful eye on them. They did not move much all day. But Robert did see one of the little ones getting a leaf and handing to the mom and she ate it!
