Monteverde Reserve
Our tour guide at Monteverde Reserve was Maria, and she knew her stuff. I saw three quetzals that were so, so beautiful. A snake, which I took lots of pictures of for my mom!! Howler monkeys (LOUD) and…a tarantula! Got it was awesome but super scary! Very hairy legs! I also saw the footprint of a puma, which was very cool! The cloud forest is really amazing in general. Just green everywhere and huge trees with epiphytes and vines…it was so amazing and I immediately understood why clear-cutting is so bad. We did a rainforest study, but you can never really know what to think of the cloud forest until you go there. I am so unbelievably baffled at how lucky I am that I got to experience it…in Costa Rica.

Hey All,
Have you done the cloud forest zipline? Can’t wait to hear those reports which I appreciate so far very much thank you!
Last night Mary Coogin and I were at NEYT seeing Wait Until Dark and then drinking a beer with a crew afterwards affirming how fine we are with you all being so far from home…then we’d hold hands and take another swig. The expansion of self happening inside each of you will be amazing to witness.
Joy to you all and Nicolai your mom loves you!
