and as we wind on down the road,

Today was the day of the zip line. It was a series of ten cables and platforms that ran from the canopy of the rainforest to...a pasture. Not quite an understory, but you get the picture. We could control our speed using a thick leather glove that we used to pull down on the cable. Naturally my glove went unused until the last few meters of cable.
Susi and Emily, La Selva is full of tiny red and blue dart frogs. Today one of our cable ride guides caught a black and green dart frog to show us. Yesterday on the cacao plantation tour we got to see a weird green tree frog with white spots and and a basilisk...lizard. We've also seen a bunch of iguanas. Some of them run accross the streets, so I have also seen an iguana pancake being made.
Today was part two of our bee study. We found some species that we didn't find in Las Cruces and vice versa. I wasn't exactly thrilled to have to break out the skatol again.
Tomorrow we'll be leaving bright and early to head off to Monteverde, located in a cloud forest, or elven forest. I kid you not. We will probably stop at Vulcan Poas, an active volcano.
