Monteverde Cloud forest
After lunch, Leanne and I headed back to the cloud forest, this time during the day while Amy and Esther headed into town. While we didn’t get to see many animals, we did see a millipede, monkeys, and birds. Hiking through the trail was cool because it would be dark and shady, then super bright, and then all in-between. The various trees and plants made the light come in all different amazing ways. We then made our way up to the continental divide and got a nice view of the mountain and Nicoya gulf. Another highlight was getting to walk on the hanging bridge and stand above canopy layers that would normally be walking beneath. To cap off our journey, we walked to a small waterfall, and then headed home. All in all, it was a very productive and eventful day.
Our evening consisted of a stop at the Ranario (a frog zoo that I really wanted to go to), dinner in town at a Pizzeria, and standing beneath the nightsky gaping upwards in amazement at how many stars we could see.
A highlight of the night was when there was a giant cockroach, like the size of 2 quarters, in our room. Leanne and Esther started freaking out and screaming, but nobody would sacrifice their shoe. Amy procured a ziploc bag, and I gently captured it, sealed the bag and threw it on the floor. Esther stomped on it and all was peaceful once again at La Mariposa.
