Costa Rica Monkeys
Kristel Segeren / The Tico Times

Thank goodness it’s Friday – when we all just want to hang out, like these mother-and-daughter monkeys in search of a relaxing weekend in the tropics.

For more stories and photos from Kristel, visit her blog, The Tiny Travelogue, or follow her (and her dog’s) adventures in the tropics and beyond on Facebook or Instagram. 

Would you like to submit a photo to our #TTPicOfTheDay series – the view from your home or favorite Costa Rican spot, or any other image you care to share? Please send horizontal photos at least 1100 pixels wide to kstanley@ticotimes.net. We’d love to see the sights with you.
