We're livin' below a live volcano, baby!

We are now in La Fortuna de San Carlos. This is a small, extremely touristy village located 7 km from the caldera of the most active volcano in Costa Rica. During the day, you can see smoke coming from the top, and sometimes at night, there is a red glow coming out of the top.
No need for concern, though. At the moment, the magma is flowing out of the other side, away from town. The folks around here say that might change soon, but noone knows when.
Tomorrow I'm gonna try and post some pictures, but no guaranties, since I'm using a "free internet" computer at our hotel, and it's slow as sh$% and often free internet equals no internet connection.
We just came from Tortuguero, which is one of the northernmost towns on the Carribean coast, and is a protected green turtle nesting site.
We basically hung out on the beach, and watched hundreds of little tortugitas hatch out of the sand and wiggle there way to the sea. Boy, human babies have it easy.
That's all for now, gotta go check out the bullfight ring, cause somthin's going on there, and I don't know what.
