Late afternoon flights at Caldera
Out at the point of the Caldera ridge
Kiting on the Caldera beach, honing skills!
The late great Fred "Grampa Ninja" Grotenhuis with low fives for some budding pilots. If there was a Costa Rica paragliding hall of fame, Fred would be the first inducted, beloved by Ticos and Gringos alike!
A typical Costa Rican breakfast. Not one but two scoops of "Pinto," a mix of rice and beans cooked together with mild spices and maybe an onion in the pot.
