Monkey Envy No More
My mother always told me that envy was a wasted emotion. And although I recognize it for just that, I have to say I can never cease to curb my envy of our cousin (as some would say) the monkey.

Sky High Through the Canopy in Monteverde, Costa Rica
I just came back from celebrating my 21st birthday in style. I spent it in Costa Rica. I know it’s not the common way to spend a 21st birthday but I figured why not do what is uncommon?

What to do today in Monteverde?
I awoke this morning at 6am at the Friends School in Monteverde. I volunteered last night to be the night watchman. After a series of local robberies we were forced to up the security of the schoolhouse in the evenings. I had breakfast at Stellas bakery this morning, after being attacked by a dog. Both the caffeine and the adrenaline rush got me off to a perky start.

I feel certain that he was put on my path to send me on a wild adventure. We were traveling from San Jose to the Monteverde Cloud Forest. I had gotten on the bus at the Alajuela Bus Central. The bus was filled to the rim.
Our family’s Vacation in Costa Rica

Sometime ago we had been seen a television special on the pristine little country and since then, have been able to consider little else. We are a family who enjoys exploring the outdoors together so it seemed an obvious choice.
A Weekend in the Cloud Forest
Its 8:20 am on a Saturday in Monteverde. The farmers market is already in full swing. I would normally be one of the first ones there to get first pick of all the organic produce available. The kids run wild there and my boy loves it. I decided to stay in this morning and drink coffee and make a little journal entry. Later, at 10am, there is a yoga class Ill probably go to, and at 11:30 some friends are getting together to play Ultimate Frisbee.
