Tiff: La Fortuna Costa Rica =I got pissed on by a mean monkey
"This morning Brad found a banana bunch that fell off a
tree in our back yard and we had bananas for
breakfast. The bananas as all fruit is totally
different here. One banana is a meal.
We went on a great late afternoon nature hike thru the
rain forest as =of course=it was raining. The
adaptations of all the plants and animals in the rain
forest are amazing. We saw tons of spider
monkeys=some with babies, flying thru the trees. I
can,t believe they don,t fall with their sweet little
babies clinging to their bellies.
A little further down the trail, we got attacked by a
band of howler monkeys. Our guide kept enticing them
to howl by howling back=what a racket. Then I guess
they decided enough fun was being had by all and they
grouped themselves in the branches above the trail and
let go=pissing all over us. CUTE++
It was cloudy with some lightening on one side and the
landslides of lava rumbling down the mountain on the
other. We were afraid we wouldn,t see the lava
because it was cloudy but we saw it thundering
down=with huge boulders breaking into sprays of red
hot lava. The volcano doesn,t erupt it just
constantly pours out lava.
After the volcano excitement, we went to a thermal hot
springs resort, where there were 16 different
beautiful pools at all different temperatures. The
hot water is pumped from underground and there is not
one single bacteria or germ in any of it. There are
swim up bars where you can sit at the bar in the hot
tub and be served all kinds of exotic fruit
concoctions. There was one jacuzzi pool where the
jets were so strong they just pushed you around in
circles as you floted on your back. My favorite was a
huge hot pool with a cold pool built into the middle.
I had my legs hanging in the hot pool, with my chest
and arms in the cold pool. That way I stayed the
perfect temperature. It was pouring the whole time,
but the rain just felt wonderful on your head and some
pools had roofs so you could stay out of the rain if
you wanted, but I don,t know why you would do that.
The ceramic tile down here is gorgeous. I have fallen
in love with a ceramic tile with a bamboo design. Its
gorgeous. The buildings in Costa Rica are so
beautiful with so much beautiful wood or wood designs
in the interiors.
Today we are going to try to find a hotel that Joe
recomended on the way to San Jose called orquideas as
we head further south."
