Road trip to Monteverde

So, I am still here in Costa Rica and really enjoying myself. Traveling alone has been quite the experience, especially in another country. I think I'd be able to handle it a little better if I was traveling alone in the U.S. But here, it is a bit strange. I guess I'm just not used to it. The people at the hotel restaurant now greet me with "Hello, Mr. Bell. Just one, right?" LOL!

Today, Aaron (my best friend and travel buddy) is flying in from Minneapolis. We've rented a car and are going on a road trip to Monteverde, the cloud forest area to the northwest of San Jose. We don't really know exactly how to get there, and we've been warned of treacherous terrain, but it should be an interesting adventure nonetheless. IF we make it there (LOL!) we'll be getting up early tomorrow morning to go zip-lining through the forest, trek across suspension bridges, visit the butterfly sanctuary, and just have a relaxing time. We're staying at Hotel El Establo which is supposed to be amazing.

I will be taking lots of photos, especially if we get stuck in the mud someplace. HAHA!!
