Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve

I take back everything I said about the road to Arenal, because the road to Monteverde was REALLY BAD.  It was miles and miles of dirt road with giant potholes, unexpected trees/boulders left permanently in the road, eroded areas that dropped off into nothingness, and we were again sharing the road with crazy Ticos driving 4x4s, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, plus mules, people walking, cows in the road...INSANE!!!  We were so happy to make it to Santa Elena!!

Yesterday morning we went on a hike in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve with our awesome guide / biologist, Eduardo.  He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the plants, birds, bugs, and animals of the reserve, and we were so lucky to have him all to ourselves.  He was a wealth of information and even told us how to cure Sherry's illness (Suero - electrolytes).

I took 100s of photos yesterday.  Here are just a few:
