Monteverde

This is the home of the Cloud Forest, where the clouds settle right into the forest. Dana finally got to go on the zip line he was waiting for and I toured though a hummingbird garden where the whole place is vibrating and the humming birds come right up to your face, pause and then zoom away. Dana's zipline was a series of 16 cables including a Tarzan swing, all of which you zoom through the jungle at rediculous speeds. We also hiked around a mountain. Very cool when the clouds came in. We saw monkeys and other jungle animals. That night we hired a guy to take us into the jungle. We saw giant spiders, a tarantula, raccoons, and a porcupine. Very cool.

We stayed in a big lodge with huge windows from which we could watch the clouds roll in and the intense thunderstorms.
