Equalised Tree
The streets of La Fortuna sound with the yaps of dogs and are lined with tourist excursion offices and bright signs repeatedly advertising the same kinds of adventures, but above the small town looms the magnificient Arenal Volcano.

The first night in La Fortuna, I headed to the foot of the volcano to eat pizza and drink "liquid lava", but it was too cloudy to see the volcano that night. Instead, I saw fireflies, hundreds of fireflies, glittering amongst the grass as if it was the sky and they were stars.

After that, I changed into my bikini and drank cocktails in the hot springs of Baldi. When it began to rain, I headed for the hottest pool I could find and let the refreshing raindrops pitter patter onto my shoulders, as I gazed at the palm trees surrounding me.

Wow

It's a shame fireflies don't seem to be present in the UK.. it was great seeing them! I guess there might be some glow worms around at least? UK Glow worm Survey (http://www.galaxypix.com/glowworms/)

Does that EVAH beat commuting home on a rainy night by train...

No fireflies on trains?

Not that I've noticed, and it would arouse comment if I set light to my fellow-passengers.

how on earth did you manage to prise yourself away to come back home?

I'm not sure. The UK is seeming quite drab now!

"The streets of La Fortuna sound with the yaps of dogs"

Interesting. A curious facet of your metaphysical belief system thus revealed is that reality is no more or less than that which the subject experiences in a given moment, such that the possibility that La Fortune may at other times not sound with the yaps of dogs is non-existent.

Were I a Pulp fan, which I'm not, I would probably make some illusion to Dogs Are Everywhere. D'oh!

Sounds like a lovely situation - hot springs, cool rain.
Much nicer than those mad Scandinavians jumping from saunas to snow.
