Visiting "Parque Nacional Volcan Poas"

ポアス火山国立公園に行ってきました！

曇っていて見えないときもあるという噴火口も見ることができたし、

おいしいご飯もいただいて、大満足☆

I went to Poas Volcano National Park!

I was able to see the crater 

which is sometimes invisible because of the cloud.

And I ate delicious lunch!

very happy ☆

昨日の夜九時過ぎに会ったグスタボが全てアレンジしてくれました！

ほんとにほんとにありがとう！！！

SWY20で知り合った彼だけど、船の上では殆ど話さなかった。

けど、昨日、今日と沢山お話できて、彼のいい人さをしみじみ感じました。

SWY20はやっぱりただの入口なのだから、せっかく出会えた人との交流をもっともっと深めていかないとなぁ。。。ともしみじみ感じました。

Gustavo who I met past 9:00pm last night arranged all for me!

Thank you sooooooooooo much! ! !

I met him with SWY20 program, 

but we didn't talk much during the program...

I got to talk with him a lot yesterday and today 

and realized how nice person he is.

Also I realized that since the SWY program is 

just the entrance to deepen our friendship or 

have much interaction each other...

朝8時頃ホテルに迎えに来てもらい、

お姉(妹)さんアンドレアさん、甥っ子のダヴィド君、ディエゴ君とご挨拶。

He came to the hostel I staying at around 8:00 morning,

I met and greeted with Andrea who is sister of him 

and his two nephew David and Diego.

途中の車窓からの景色もきれいだった！

View from the car window on the way was also beautiful!

 

約2時間のドライブで公園に着。
コスタリカ人の彼らと一緒の車に乗っていたから、
私の入場料までコスタリカ人としての価格になってました！
The way to get there by a car took us about 2 hours.
Because I was with Costa Rican, 
my admission fee came with Costa Rican Residence price! 

もちろんまずは噴火口へ。

First we headed to the crater of course. 

 

霧が。。。
全然見えない。
5分くらい待ってたけど、諦めて、湖へ。
ボトスラグーンへ。
Fog. . . 
We cannot see the crater at all. 
We waited about five minutes, but we gave up and headed to the lake. 
To Laguna Botos. 

ラグーンラグーンへの森も良かったし、
The forest on the way to Laguna Botos was great,

  

ラグーンボトスもきれいだった。
And Laguna Botos was beautiful.

ラグーンボトスループというウォーキングのコースには行かず、

We didn't go to the trail called Circuito Laguna Botos, 

少しゆっくりしてから噴火口へ戻ることに。
we took a little break there and head back to the crater. 


途中リスも発見！
We found a little squirrel on the way! 

と、霧が少し晴れてる！

And, the fog is less and getting clear around the crater.

見えた！
半分諦めてたからすごく嬉しくて☆
ほんとにきれいだし、良かった！
で、しばらく噴火口でもゆっくり。
I saw it!
Because there was also the feeling of giving up in myself, 
I was very happy☆
It was really beautiful, and great!
We stayed there a while.

入口の方に戻り、
The way back to the car, 

博物館にも寄って。
we stopped by the museum.

お腹も空いたし、お昼ご飯。
We were so hungry and went to lunch. 

なんとビュッフェ。
The restaurant was buffet style.

取りすぎ！？
I took excessive?

でも完食しましたよ！
But I was completely food!


そして、ケーキもあったので、このうち2つをパクリ。
And, since there were also cakes, I took two of them.

お昼ごはんも大満足。
I was so contend with the lunch, too!

そしてそこからまた2時間ほど車に揺られ。。。
サンホゼ着。
16時ごろだったかな。
And Gustavo drove the way back about 2 hours,
We came back to San Jose.
It was around 4:00pm.

ここでグスタボと、アンドレア、デヴィド、ディエゴともお別れ。
短い時間だったけど、彼にはほんとにほんとに感謝。
一人で行こうと思っていたところ、
昨日の今日でアレンジしてくれて。
最後にはおやつまでいただいてしまった！
I had to say goodbye to 
Gustavo, Andrea, David, and Diego here 
in front of my hostel.
It was a short time, 
but I really really thanks to him and them.
I was gonna go by myself with public transplantation,
but he arranged everything for me since we met last night!
They gave me strawberries!

日本に来たときは、私にも色々招待させてね！
Gustavo, you must let me show you around, when you come visit Japan!
