This is the very last picture we took in Costa Rica. We were on the road south, coming back from a failed attempt to view eruptions at Arenal and one rainy night at Bosque del Termales.

Some of the mountain roads had absolutely stunning views, while others were spotted with cows, sheep or goats. This particular cow didn’t give a rat’s arse that we were behind her, which is the way it should be. It reminded me of being in India and having to drive around a cow who decided to take a nap in the middle of a busy intersection. Eventually she moved about a foot to the right and gave us enough room to pass.

This certainly wasn’t the last thing we saw, as we spent a couple of evenings in Alajuela (at the warm and highly-recommended Vida Tropical), but it’s kinda funny that the last thing we thought worthy enough to photograph was … a cow’s arse.
