I{ve got itchy feet and have decided to head out on a week-long exploration of some of Costa Rica{s hot spots, literally, instead of spending the week hanging out in Samara studying Spanish.
I{m headed out this mornign to Parque Nacional de Palo Verde, to see the wetlands at the mouth of el rio Tempisque and the many different birds they have there.
Tomorrow, I{ll head to Parque Nacional Volcan Tenorio, to walk along the Rio Celeste, famed for its celestial blue coloring, and start enjoying the region{s many hot springs.
From there, I{ll head to the Arenal region, where the volcano is still very active, and take my first walk through the rainforest canopy via suspended walkways.
Then on to Santa Elena, another rainforest area adjacent to the more famous (hence more developed and crowded) Monteverde, where I hope to join a couple of guided nature walks including a night walk to see los animales.
Then back to Nicoya on the weekend in time for a fiesta with local bands and folk dancing in SAn Vicente, the Chorotega (local Indian) village we visited yesterday in the company of Cesar{s friend David, who is himself Chorotega.
I have lots more pictures but it{s very slow to upload them via Flickr and then on to Blogger, if anyone knows a better suite of programs let me know.
Andiamo!
