Jen and I quickly got bored of vacationing in Samara -- you can only take so many naps in a hammock. It's time for some adventures. So we hopped on a bus for Nicoya and then to Parque Nacional Barra Honda. This park has 42 caves, some of which are so deep they haven't been explored yet. We took a tour of one of the smaller ones. We climbed down a 60 foot ladder and then meandered through tight passages before reaching a final depth of 41 meters (~130 feet?) We saw bats, cave spiders, amazing rock features...and when we turned off our headlamps there was no difference between opening and closing our eyes. Now we're staying in the small mountain town of Santa Elena, reknown for it's proximity to the Monteverde Cloud Forest. We're going to try going on a night hike tonight (if the rain reduces to at least a drizzle) to see all of the nocturnal jungle animals. Tomorrow morning we'll be zipping through the trees in classic Costa Rican tourist style. And after that.... we don't know yet.
