So I finally found a real computer and for not too much money I get to post a proper update. Probably in reverse order, so everybody gets up to speed.

So this morning, I took a canopy tour (i.e. ziplining). This was an absolute blast as they had like 14 different zips that went over the jungle, some really, really high. The longest one was a full kilometer long!!! They also had a rappel and a tarzan swing. The swing was freaking awesome!!! Anyway, I bought the CD so I have pictures.

Yesterday, I think I posted an update, but I hiked in the Monteverde Cloud Forest, and even got to see a quetzal. That was pretty neat. I also hiked at another little reserve, where I saw a bunch of little animals. Speaking of animals, there was a monkey at my hotel this morning! Very exciting. The coati things are like everywhere.

I did a coffee and sugar cane tour the first day I got here, which was really interesting. We made some uber-sugary stuff too. And he took us all around the place.

My hotel here is a real bargain -- only $25 a night. It costs 800 colones to get into town (just over a dollar). And it has this awesome view over the valley. The owner is from Minnesota, and is really nice.

I'm going to try to make another update about what I did in La Fortuna now.
