Costa Rica - Part I



We had the good fortune to be able to spend a week in Costa Rica with good friends from CT. Our tour included travelling the rough dirt roads through the Cloud Forest of Monteverde and finally down into the jungles of Tortuguero National Park.
Day 1 Arrive at San Jose and get used to our new surroundings at Hotel Real-Intercontinental. Nice to see our new avian friends including Inca dove, Rufous-collared sparrow, and Great kiskadee. The rest of the tour group will arrive tomorrow, but in the meantime, we will take advantage of our extra day to get accustomed to our new surroundings. Day 2 - Continues at San Jose as we await the arrival of our fellow travellers. Take a stroll through part of San Jose and visit the local Supermarket for supplies before we head out for the Cloud forest. New birds include the Melodious blackbird.
