The Truth about TYPING IN CAPS

Consider this a public service announcement, for those of you who don't know better:  Please don't TYPE IN CAPS.  Those of us who live in the technology world equate typing in caps to screaming, and quite literally we hear a screaming voice in our heads every time we read an email written in all caps.  If you don't believe me, try this definition from Wikipedia:

On Internet chat systems and Usenet, typing in all capitals is considered rude, the large letters akin to shouting or yelling within the social context. On a more practical level, caps lock may be difficult to read. [1]A user who excessively uses capital letters may be advised to "lay off the caps lock."

If you're still not convinced, please read this email & IM etiquette posting.  Oh, and thank you for not shouting.  :)

A Week in Manuel Antonio Park, Costa Rica

I am half Costa Rican, and go back at least once a year to visit family and various parts of the country.  On this trip, my fiancee Sue and I went with a group of friends to Quepos, Costa Rica, which is home to Manuel Antonio Park.  I'll post more photos here later.  The park and beaches are truly amazing.

Below is the house where we stayed.  Beautiful sunsets!
