mattbellThe Pinnacles is a hilly desert area containing the remnants of a volcano's core. It's about two hours south of San Jose. It's far enough from civilization that there's practically no light pollution, and as a consequence the night sky is completely intense. During the day it's quite (though not oppressively) hot, and it becomes a playground full of rocks to explore and climb.
A had some very colorful clothes, which exploded with luminosity under a shaft of light in a cave:
Amber waves of.... hair:
This is a really unflattering characterization of women. (from the bathrooms at the Pinnacles)

Arroyo Seco is (unlike what its Spanish name implies) a very wet canyon that can be explored during the late summer months when the flow of water is not too intense. Owing to the non-waterproofness of my camera, I didn't get too many pictures, but the experience of swimming, jumping and sliding my way down the water's path was a great deal of fun, at least until it became late enough in the day that the sun no longer reached the bottom of the canyon.
