Long bus drive to San Jose
Day 10
Today we have our last long bus ride and arrive back in San Jose and complete our loop tour. The bus ride is pretty uneventful and we arrived back in San Jose in late afternoon. We needed to exchange dollars for colones for our trip tomorrow so we headed for the bank. Banks in Costa Rica close promptly at 5 pm and we arrived minutes before closing. The bank was organized into 6 teller windows on each side of the bank ...
Imperial en San Jose

Even though I'm in Costa Rica I still would like to wish my sister and Dana both a Happy Birthday on July 30th. I miss you both!!!!
Hasta Luego!!!!

Searching for a Bird
... as usual, once for a handful of lovely green page moths gathered in the road and another for a toucan calling loudly from a tree.
Then we drove on, towards San Jose. As darkness neared we realized we would not make it to our intended location, so instead stayed at a nice hotel in San Isidro. The next morning we drove the rest of the way to the Mirador de Quetzal, marveling at the towering mountains that disappeared in the clouds.
