Parque Nacional Tapantí

My first experiences with Costa Rican nature! Finally! :)
Well of course I had to start with taking 3 buses and after that a taxi which we got very cheap thanx to our own tico. The park is a rainforest - a really nice one. You can see all kinds of birds and butterflies... and also red banana trees :) And you will for sure understand, why they call it the RAINforest! At first walking the stiff hills, panting till death... and then while descending, having the best rain ever - all the hill covered with mud and you slipping with your butt all muddy. Feels like childhood again! That´s SO cool! Wonder, if they let me in the bus, having mud all over me ;)
Finally we got home wet, cold, tired... but happy! :D

The other good part of the day was the obligation to speak spaish. Well, actually it´s nice just putting the words in line - they don´t have to form a sentence, do they?
