The Stations of the Cross is a devotional exercise that is observed on Good Friday by many Christian churches. The practice has its origins in the era of the Crusades, when pilgrims trod the Via Dolorosa through the streets of Jerusalem, re-tracing Jesus’ steps on the path to Calvary.

Costa Rica – Day 9 and 10
For our final day in this part of the world the sun came out – finally! Whether to reward us for our perspicacity, or to taunt us for having to leave the next day, it was still sunshine, and blessed warmth. We departed at 6 AM from our mountainside retreat in Monteverde, slowly descending the…

Costa Rica – Day 7
Today was a “repositioning” day, moving from Arenal (still no volcano – it didn’t appear to see us off) to the Pacific side of Costa Rica. Across the Continental Divide, following multiple switchbacks, we slowly made our way to the Monteverde area, arriving at our hotel built into the side of a mountain in mid-afternoon….
Costa Rica – Day 6
Like most of our days so far, Wednesday morning arrived with a steady drizzle and a grey sky. After driving out of Arenal for about 45 minutes, however, the sky began to brighten, and by the tine we reached our destination in the wetlands of Cano Negro, the sky was sunny and the temperature was…
