Monterrico

My sister Jen has been here visiting for 2 weeks - so we're been to a couple of new places. This is Monterrico on the Pacific coast, where it's REALLY hot and has lots of mosquitoes. Also great sunsets and turtles laying their eggs on the beach.

It is also on the edge of a nature reserve of swamp and river system, with lots of wildlife. My favourite was the Cuatrojos - which are fish with 4 eyes! They swim with 2 eyes above the water level and 2 eyes below it. Then they fly / skim across the surface of the water -- too fast to get a photo!
