Friday, July 9th




A field trip into a cloud forest this morning, Monte Zerpa, actually. Very interesting, I have been looking forward to this one for quite awhile. I know, your looking at the pictures & saying 'If that's a cloud forest, where are the clouds?'. It isn't always cloudy in a cloud forest, just usually - besides, if it were cloudy the pictures would have only shown a few feet into el bosque before everything was covered by the clouds. We didn't see many animals - the vegetation really is very thick in there, but we heard quite a few: monkeys (I don't know what kind); toucans; & some kind of a mountain-jungle turkey (no, really!). I'm getting hungry & don't feel like sitting at this keyboard any longer, so that's it for now. I know I didn't write much, but the pictures are more interesting anyway. Oh, that shot of me swinging in a vine - it isn't photoshopped, just weird. Hasta la tarde...
