Flag of Costa Rica Monteverde, Costa Rica
Monday, November 26, 2007

We set off from the Flamingo area around noon yesterday and made great time to the bottom of the mountains. But getting up the mountain was a whole different ball game.

We have never seen roads so rough. If you can imagine steep (we're talking 15%+ incline) with dips as deep as the tires and rocks dispersed across! It took us about 2 hours to drive the 15 miles up the mountain. Thank god for the 4-wheel drive!!!

Monteverde is considered a "cloud forest" as opposed to rain forest that are more common. This morning we took a 4-hour tour of the preserved park with amazing vegitation and animals (you'll see in the pictures.

Not much more time to elaborate here.

We'll keep you posted.

Love,
Shirin & Babak
