Our day began bright and early and on the way out of town and just because we couldn’t figure out how to get on the right road, we came across several people looking up into a tree by the road…it was a two-toed sloth! Right there on the road and not in the cloud forest where we spent five hours looking for one yesterday. We stopped, of course, to take some pictures which we included in our blog.
The trip out of the mountains was down some of the steepest and curviest roads that we have been on yet. I bless my stars that Fred can drive on these mountainous, winding, gravel, pot-hole filled roads. We are now on paved roads for the rest of our trip. We checked into Hotel Verde Mar at noon…it is right on the beach and we have a pool outside our door, as well. We have already taken a dip in the ocean and in the pool. We will get up early tomorrow and walk Manual Antonio National Park. It is the smallest park in Costa Rica, but has some of the best opportunities to see monkeys and lowland birds. We are now using an Internet Café for the rest of our blogs, so unless you just happen to catch us online…no Skyping for a while. it costs $1.00 for 15 minutes! enjoy this post...by the way, everything on this pc is in spanish!
