My wife and I recently made a trip
to Costa Rica. We traveled in a group for the first time in 40 years. Luckily
everyone in the group got along with one another. We spent a good deal of time
in the rain forests. Parts of Costa Rica get 20 or more feet of rain each year.
We saw three types of monkeys. The howler monkeys sounded like a cross between
a lion and a seal. We took several river trips. One boat ride was through a
mangrove forest. Mangrove trees have external roots that take in oxygen. The
roots also serve as supports. We saw tree-dwelling iguanas. The bird population
of Costa Rica is fantastic. I got a neck ache from watching them through
binoculars. We got pretty close to a couple of crocodiles. We were more interested
in them than they were in us. We were given a tour of a pineapple plantation. We
ate pineapple picked right from the field. I cannot describe how delicious it
was. Some of the fruit in Costa Rica we had never heard of. Surprisingly, the
food was not too spicy. The roads in Costa Rica are not the best in the world. Our
bus had one flat tire and one blowout. But that could have happened anywhere. I
would recommend Costa Rica to anyone who appreciates nature.
