  • In this episode, I am riding to Volcan Turrialba in Costa Rica. Besides two large eruptions in 2010 and 2015, there is regularly some activity going on, and that's also the case right now so they closed access to the volcano. Luckily I manage to find a place to stay nearby and get a small peek into the lives of Costa Rican cattle farmers!

    My grandfather Wilfred Becquet exported several of his cattle and I well remember three cows and one bull going to Costa Rica. They left Jersey on a small Bristol Freighter aircraft on the first stage of what must have been a very long and exhausting journey via the UK. I was therefore fascinated to see their progeny so happily settled in Central America producing that same thick milk that we and the farm cats drank every day - and don’t get me started on that fantastic salty butter my grandmother made in the wooden paddle box then patted into shape with the two bats, each engraved with a cow’s face to give it authenticity!

      Whole milk sucks. And that "good bacteria" / no pasteurization is why it will have zero shelf life. We can't all keep a cow in the back yard. Actually, plenty of studies show the world would be better off all around including from global warming if we did away with cattle completely.

    She reminds me of a dog or puppy (i mean this in the most positive way). When a puppy falls down the stairs, it doesn't sit there and get depressed because he fell, he looks around and gets excited at all the stuff he didn't see before. Noraly goes down the wrong trail, she doesn't get pissed because she went the wrong way, she is excited because she saw more of the country.

    Americans may appreciate; Costa Rica is almost exactly the size of Indiana, though oriented east/west, not north/south. With friends, we flew into San Jose, in the center of the country. We planned to tour a few days in Central Costa Rica, then go west for a few days on the Pacific, then east for a few days on the Atlantic Coast. We were so enthralled with the scenery and wonderfully kind people of central Costa Rica, the scenery, the volcanoes, hot springs, etc... we spent fourteen days in interior of Costa Rica and never saw either ocean. Hopefully Noraly can do some night flying with the drone near Mount Arenal.

When we see just the helmet camera it's easy to see all we could do on a bare motorcycle. I've milked cows and some of those cows look more like Brown Swiss breed than Jerseys.
