There is always a healthy balance of work and play as a Raleigh volunteer. We've been beavering away at fieldbase with driver-training, stock-taking, and generally getting the camp ready for when the Project Managers and venturers arrive over the next two weeks.
As a small treat for the ahem, hard work all week, the team made an excursion to Volcan Irazu this morning. Volcan Irazu is an active volcano located about two hours drive from fieldbase. The locals have dubbed it "El Coloso" or The Colossus for the disasters it'd caused in the past. Alas, the gods were not so kind today, granting us instead with a thick fog that blocked the view of Irazu's crater when we arrived. The drive was a scenic one, nonetheless. David caught some fantastic shots of the Costa Rican landascape - which you can expect to be a regular feature of this blog.
Enjoy.

| It was cold and wet when we arrived. Not promising. |

| In principle ... You should be able to see the crater from here |
