Volcan Poas going home

We left the Poas volcano and started our journey home.  The top of the volcano is at a little over 8000 feet above sea level.  While still in the upper elevation we saw coffee plantations.

Coffee Fields

We also saw large fields of strawberries and ferns.   These were all covered with plastic to presumably keep out the birds and the hot sun.

Strawberries

You could see all of the valley below.

As we continued to descend we encountered farm country and quite a few cows--even on the roads.

We ultimately left farm country and entered town.  The towns are very economically challenged.

Being an old telephone person I naturally noticed the wiring.

The towns had many of the stores with which we are familiar and a lot of fast food restaurants.

The price for this Wendy's box meal is approximately $7.50 US.

As we finished our trip home one of the things that seemed to fascinate us all were the fences along the road.  Instead of the expense of buying fence posts, they take branches off the trees, stick them in the ground and they grow--economical and effective.
(The main problem was Sharon trying to get a picture of them as we were driving by.)

Growing Fence Posts

We made it home--it was a good day.
