Trip to Paso Marcos, Easter Weekend. not sure if he wants to cross
Hey, that's where we stayed. Yes, I'm sure there's a bridge further up along the river, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity.
Lost World Looking into Cabécar land.
Montezuma Oropendola nests neighboorhood 7-11. The Blue Crowned Motmot lives underground... apparently this is why: According to Bribrí legend, the god Sibo asked all the creatures to help him make the world. They all chipped in gladly except the motmot, who hid in a hole. Unfortunately, the bird left his tail hanging out. When the other birds saw this they picked the feathers from the motmot's tail but left the feathers at the tip. When the world was complete, Sibo gave all the tired animals a rest. Soon the motmot appeared and began boasting about how hard he had labored. But the lazy bird's tail gave the game away, so Sibo, who guessed what had happened, admonished the motmot and banished him to living in a hole in the ground. (Moon Handbooks) ?

Things to do in life: spot a quetzal less than 20 feet away, check. Adelle! Thanks gramma for sending the beanie. gracious hosts, take good care of me, and the rest of the students who cruise through the research center.
Decided to try and cross the country in one day, watching the sun rise on the east coast and set on the west coast. Sunrise over Caribbean side, from Cahuita. I read about these banana plantations for my anthropology classes. Then my bus stopped in the middle of one. It may be a bad idea to accrue lots of land unethically, clear it for a monoculture crop, and exploit racial tensions in order to keep workers from forming unions... but it looks kind of cool from above. Sorry Philippe.
So much for crossing the country in one day. Yep, it's deep. Limón bus station, several hours later. OK, now we're in La Carpio
