Flat Pinkie returned from Costa Rica!

My cousin was nice enough to put me in contact with his wife's cousin in San Jose, Costa Rica. Alejandro kept Flat Pinkie for a few weeks and took tons of neat pictures. Many of them include family members--particularly children--so I will not share those here on this public blog. I don't really have any way to get permission and I know I wouldn't want someone posting pics of my kids online without my okay.

These first two don't include Flat Pinkie, but how gorgeous is this?
We've been learning a bit about rainforest trees lately. Their roots aren't terribly deep--they rely on buttress roots to provide stability at the base. What a good pic of buttress roots!

Now for some of Flat Pinkie in a Costa Rican environment:

Flat Pinkie is now in New Hampshire, where he will be traveling with a host family to Obama's inauguration in Washington, D.C. He certainly gets around!
