Sunday took a tour to the Poas Volcano at 8,000 ft. Most of the volcanoes in Costa Rica are shrouded in clouds, even though it is a clear blue sky. The caldera was steaming in a jasmine color from the sulfur, the temperature was 40 degrees cooler than the tropical forest below. After a brief lunch for some tradition Costa Rican cuisine, our tour continued on through some strawberry, teak, avocado, banana and flower plantations. Teak, which is grown for export and is know for its straight growth, is used for all the utility poles in Costa Rica. Sunday, also happened to be the presidential election day (42 candidates), so we also got to visit a "third-world" polling station.
