BACK!

As you can see from my title, I am indeed back from Costa Rica. Obviously I have a lot to update on. The trip turned out a little differently than I expected. I had anticipated it to be mainly focused on turtles (Olive Ridley Sea Turtles), but it turned out to be more focused on overall Costa Rican nature.

We arrived in (or, right outside of) San Jose and stayed overnight in a nice little hotel. The next morning we took a long drive to Monteverde. The roads were insanely bumpy and there were pot holes about every two feet. Also, I swear the bus drivers there would rather drive off a cliff than through a pot hole. We arrived in Monteverde (it's very high up on a mountain.) and stayed for four nights. While there, we went to the cloud forest, did a zipline through the forest, took a horseback ride to a waterfall and did a night tour of the forest. We also visited a butterfly place (where we got to release some butterflies ourselves) and a serpentarium (where Molly held a tarantula-sorry for my bad spelling). So that was all very neat. And that's all for now. I'll update more about the trip at a later date.

I'll also try to figure out how to put pictures on my site. Posted by lib at July 23, 2003 04:01 PM
