El Avion, Costa Rica


Here's a little slice of history for you - in Manuel Antonio,Costa Rica, sits a Fairchild C-123 formerly owned by the CIA. Connected to the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980's, the plane is now a restaurant known as El Avion.

Once involved in clandestine operations, El Avion nows serves up food and beverages! Check out the video on YouTube at El Avion.

I've been to Costa Rica but have chosen Kauai for my honeymoon. It's exotic and I don't have to worry about passports or shots. There are some real good hotel deals now. A blog I also have been following is hawaiiphotobank. Thanks Linda for all your good ideas.
