I’m in Costa Rica!

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Hola readers, I am writing to you from cloudy (and rainy) Monteverde, Costa Rica. Karen and I just arrived to the country yesterday, and am already having a blast.

It is gorgeous here. The drive to Monteverde was 4.5 hours long and the end was extreeeemly bumpy. We climbed to the top of a mountain on a tiny dirt road. Great stuff. I’ll post pictures when I get home.

Today we toured a cheese factory (great cheese). Tomorrow is a canopy tour. Monday is canyoning near Volcan Arenal. Woo!

More later when I’m on a faster internet connection (hopefully).
