Toad Hall by archelenon

Toad Hall

Ah, Toad Hall. Just up the road from La Mansion were two restaurants, including Toad Hall. The building itself isn't much to speak of, but the food was quite good an cheap. Karen and I split this smoothie, which she thinks was mango pineapple. I'm pretty sure it had pineapple in it, but I don't remember the mango aspect.

Regardless, it was probably the best smoothie I've ever had.

Karen's photos from Costa Rica can be found here.

Karen probably won't be thrilled that I uploaded this photo. Oops.

Lake Arenal by archelenon

Lake Arenal

Here's a closer shot of the view of Lake Arenal Karen and I had from our cottage at La Mansion. The lake is the largest in Costa Rica and produces approximately 9 percent of Costa Rica's electricity through a hydroelectric dam.

Visit www.arenal.net/lake-arenal.htm for a good map of the lake, including the location of La Mansion (marked number one on the map.) Note how far away La Mansion is from La Fortuna, Monteverde, etc. and you will get an idea of how uncomfortably long daily van rides on pot-holed and gravel roads was for us.

Ah well, Pura Vida, as the Costa Ricans say.

View from La Mansion

The first three nights of our honeymoon, Karen and I stayed at La Mansion in Arenal (http://www.lamansionarenal.com/) an excellent four-star hotel that we basically had to ourselves. The beginning of the rainy season coincided with our honeymoon, so there were considerably fewer tourists than at other times of the year.

I promise I haven't forgotten to upload Costa Rica photos; it's just been a busy summer!
