Brrrrr.....Monteverde

Just when I thought I wouldn't be wearing my jeans...I haven't taken them off since I got here. The plane was FREEZING, the bus ride to Monteverde was FREEZING and the weather here is always in the clouds, hence, the cloud forest. Yesterday we took a walk around the preserve to see the animals. Perhaps from my experiences in Asia, I was under the impression that monkey's would be leaping out of the forest onto my backpack...a common event in Sumatra and Bali...but alas we did not see a single monkey, or any other mammal for that matter. We saw some interesting birds, but the girls I walked with did not have the patience to sit and listen to the different birds. I sat and watched the hummingbirds for a bit and we saw many, many glass winged butterflies. Very cool. A nice morning. We came back into Santa Elana and had a relaxed afternoon. In the evening we went dancing with Evan, our new friend. He was an EXCELLENT salsa dancer and a great lead for me as I have absolutely NO skills in the dancing department! He made me feel like a superstar. Sorry fans....no video of this event!! haha!! We are now waiting to catch our bus to the beach as Amy has had enough of the cool air. We are ready to put on our bikinis and sundresses for the remainder of the trip. Hasta Luego Monteverde.
