Monteverde!!!!

For those of you who haven't already spent hours researching it online, Monteverde is a Forest Reserve up in the northern mountains of Costa Rica. It's a small town pretty much in the middle of no where. It is however quite lovely - lots of jungle, animals, bugs, birds and butterflies. So far the coolest thing I've seen was the toucan I saw yesterday by the side of the road. The town has one post office, a few shops and then lots of restaurants/hotels/shopping for all the tourists that come here during the year. It's definitely a good place to visit.

Even though Nickele and I have been here for only three days, it's like we've been here for forever. Everyday is full of new things to learn and to experience. The two most notable things would have to be that it rains here everyday. But when I say rain, I don't mean sprinkle. It POURS!! It's usually for just a few hours at a time but the amount of water that comes out of the sky during that time is amazing! The other fun thing is that Nickele and I had to opportunity to go to San Jose yesterday with local Pathfinder group to see a music group called MasterKey. Apparently they're pretty famous here in Costa Rica. We got back home ridiculously late but it was worth it!

We're here!!
