Scariest part is that you can't break ...
In the Shade of Arenal
... the drive out though in so much rain as it just would not quit. They said the drive is better when it rains so we ventured out.
Halfway down the 4km of bad road…Jymism alert…"Wow…now when someone says someone looks like 10 miles of bad road I will have a point of reference!” We stopped at this old giant tree that we heard about. It was difficult to find because you have to be looking into the forest ...
