Fun Photo Friday — More Tárcoles River Expedition Favorites

Toothy Grin

Below you’ll find more of my favorite photos from our Tárcoles River expedition, but first I promised a rather exciting video depicting hand-feeding an American crocodile and otherwise getting even more up-close and intimate with this rather intimidating and very large fellow:

Next week I’m going to delay a continuation of this trip for a quick sojourn into Alaska. The reason I’m making this quick detour is because this is Alaskan cruise season, and because Ursula and I just returned from this trip with our two good friends, Al and Lisa Fittipaldi from Houston. Next week you’ll seen another video, this one of glaciers we visited while touring Alaska, including a clip of a school bus-sized piece of glacial ice calving away from the face of the Hubbard Glacier. After this brief break I’ll return you to our Chile-to-Los Angeles cruise continuing with our stop in Nicaragua.
