Leaving the coast for the mountains

Beloved --

Mellow. Looking forward to some cool mountain air after a week at the ocean.

Interbus ("Private Shuttle Service from Hotel to Hotel") is a great way to travel within Costa Rica. Their scheduled travel is frequent and cheap, for example from Jaco (near Esterillos Este) to Monteverde is four hours +/- and $39.

The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is at the continenal divide. The locals make a big distinction between a rain forest and a cloud forest. What Monteverde seems like is being in a warm, windy fog. The winds alternate between the trades off the Caribbean and those of the Pacific.

I miss you and love you all,

Jim
