just keeps getting better

yesterday took a 4-5 hour bus ride out of San Jose into the Northern Central Highlands aka Los Montanas to this liitle gringo village supported by the the national rain forest parks and related ecotorims ie canopy tours.

Went to a pretty cool little restuarant last night where a group of harvard public policy grad students happened to be dining as well which when combined with the shots of tequila on the house made for some good convo.

went out dancin afterwards to the only place in town where they played pretty good reggea and then salsa.

despite the party the night before we managed to drag oursleves out of bed by 8 to go hike the monteverde trails.

the air up there is so clean and sweet and intoxicating. and the jungle is so alive but so calming at the same time. We were even treated to the sight of a quetzal which is beautiful multicolored parrot
