After finishing our time at the Monkey Park, we moved back to Liberia so we could get new glasses for Karen, since our bag was stolen. We´ve since bumped into a handful of other people who´ve also been through the same and found out that of all the American Passports in the world (not that there´s many) - the most are stolen in Costa Rica.
Monteverde - tourist trap to the multitudes, but somehow still pleasant. It has a mountain lodge feel with extreme heat instead of snow. We took a guided tour through Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve - fun and informative searching for the elusive Quetzal (the national bird). We also saw a very good exhibit called ¨The Bat Jungle¨ so now we know a little bit more about what we missed out on in Panama.
Then on to a Serpentarium - who´d like to kiss this ugly mother? Next day we took a zip-line canopy tour (www.skytrek.com) - think of Giant Flying Foxes like when you were a kid, except up to 80 km/h and up to 800m long through the jungle. Met up with Nina and Mike (Chicagoans who enjoy watching AFL on cable TV and think it´s all a bunch of pretty-boys who are very popular in the gay community in Chicago). We also watched the shitty World Cup final - damn Italians didn´t even deserve to be there let alone win that way!!! Ah, well.
