Welcome to the USA, hmm, oops, I meant Costa Rica. It really is so easy to get confused, since there are more Americans around then Costa Ricans.. But, well, in the USA there are no Toucans, so this must be Costa Rica..
A bit of Sarcasm from my side, but it practically feels like that. A touristy place,
A bit of Sarcasm from my side, but it practically feels like that. A touristy place,
primarily oriented in the American tourist that is here for a few days. If I hadn´t had my flight from here I´d probably be on my way to Nicaragua and Guatemala by now. It is not about the country, its beauty (eventhough I´m probably a spoiled bastard, since compared to the others Costa Rica is less fascinating), but about the extreme commercialization.
Monteverde, one of the primary cloud forests of Cos
ta Rica, a rich vegetation, a windy place. There are two parks here, the Monteverde and Santa Elena Reserve. Yesterday I walked up the Monteverde Reserve, 7 km there, 7 km back and an approximate 11 km around the 15$ entry park. At the park I did not spot any 
wildlife, neither did most people. Just flowers, amazing winds and clouds raging past me. The views were good, but there is an architect walking around creating ´interesting´ passes for tourists, while most of it is really paved. To me a disappointment, since all I´ve been through.
The hike to (I was the only idiot that did so, steep hills, everyone else took a taxi or jeep) and from the reserve was about best. Merely because here I spotted wildlife, a Toucan, Bobo and Sloth (luiaard).

more touristy. Here I´ll stay here for probably a week, since I don´t want to visit the beach. (I want to go home with the image of the San Blas in my mind, the best memory of the beaches) Then two more nights San José and fly home.

Hoi Marcel
Wat weer een mooie foto's. De CD's zijn er nog niet. Het is aftellen geblazen. Nog een dikke week en je komt weer in het druilerige Nederland. Wij zijn blij om je volgende week zaterdag te mogen ontvangen op Schiphol.Jij zult er misschien anders over denken en nog meer willen beleven.Na ontspanning komt weer inspanning en dat kan weer leiden tot ontspanning.Veel plezier nog de laatse week.
Groeten
Pa en Ma
