Despite my camera dying on the first day, I still managed to capture the essence of an exciting trip through my small digital camera (Canon A2200). It may be old but it still does a pretty good job, and the battery lasted for 10 days. This goes to show me that it’s not the camera that does all the work- it takes practice to line up a shot just right. These pictures cannot begin to do justice to the beauty of the country, and kindness of the people of Costa Rica.
