Sloth – Monteverde, Costa Rica
We were sitting in a restaurant having dinner and there was a big commotion and everyone came out to the outside terrace where we were eating to see this sloth coming down a tree ten feet from our table. Yeah, it was cool, but I’m telling you that you wouldn’t want to pet this thing until it bathed and that might take a few hours at the rate it moved.
Cloud Forest – Monteverde, Costa Rica
Cloud forests rank right up there with the Grand Canyon in my book. If you’ve never been to one, you’ve still got something really special to look forward to. This place is called The Reserva Biológica Bosque Nuboso Monteverde. These people aren’t looking for the common sparrow. Birders are even more interesting than the birds for which they peer.
