Additional Photos

These, and other photos from the areas surrounding Villa Esmeralda, are available on Google's Picasa Web Photo Site. Included are photos from Manuel Antonio Park, nearby Playa Matapalo, Dominical to the South, and from along the road to San Isidro in the Central Valley.

In addition, several photos have been resized for use as "desktop wallpaper" on a wide-screen 16 x 9 aspect computer monitor. Feel free to use any of these walpaper images as a reminder of your visit to this beautiful country (these are probably best when "centered" and not "stretched," and are dramatic when used with a black background).

These photos may also be viewed using the interactive Cooliris 3D Photo Wall (instructions at this link will explain installing the required CoolIris plugin.)

Disclaimer: Use the wallpaper images on your computer at work with care! They may help with your re-entry back into the "real" world, but you may end up doing more daydreaming than working!
