I have a question about the butterfly preserves. Did you put it on toast? English muffin? I bet it tasted like chicken.

LOL thanks Megan. Our next stop is Peru, so I am sure we will continue to eat tacos. Keep those pics of Leo coming. He is adorable.

I can’t say I miss the snow. We both decided we picked the best year to do this trip. We have had a lot of sunshine with a little rain. We even have a nice fan on the balcony which I know you would enjoy. I think if we taught you and Ronda a few Spanish phrases you might actually enjoy a visit to Manuel Antonio sometime.

Thanks. We did look at a butterfly preserve. It seems there are preserves for multiple animals including snakes and frogs. We ended up not doing any tours outside the hiking ones just to stay on budget.

Thanks. We have seen plenty of monkeys, but it hasn’t always been easy to get pictures of them. We do have a video we can show you at some point.

Juuuuuuulie Steele!!!!!! I can hear your voice and see you cringing as your back bag is getting squished in the mud. I’m glad you and your pack survived! I can’t wait to get caught up on your blog! Stay safe! And I hope you find tacos with more pork. Xoxoxo

Hi Mark and Julie, boy did you pick the right time to get out of here. We got hit with a big snowstorm, half the town is shut down. Had to spend the day pushing snow. Looks like you two are having more fun than we are . Keep the info coming, see ya

I remember visiting a butterfly preserve (http://www.monteverdebutterflygarden.com) when we were there back in ’99. I HATE butterflies with a white-hot passion, but even I had to admit it was pretty neat and the staff was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna.

(don’t worry–all my tips will vanish once you leave Costa Rica–I have NO experience in South America and can’t wait to see your posts!)
