Stream & footbridge in the Cloud Forest (click on photo to enlarge)
We did have a fair amount of rain in Boca del Drago and we had a very rich and productive time. The kids projects, energy, and creative thought were very impressive. The seas were to choppy to reasonably to take the 1 hour open boat to the mainland. We did make a last minute decision to fly from the Island to the city of David at the other side. While it cost a little more it was a safer choice, and we did save some considerable time. It was pouring rain with heavy seas when left the station for the airport and it would have been a miserable and bumpy ride in an open boat. It is dry and hot in David (accent on the second syllable). It’s a short respite through the precipitation as we are headed up to the cloud forest. It is spectacular there, although there is not electricity where we are staying. There is hot water, which will be a welcome change. We may get a chance to do another post when we go down for an activity on Sunday but we also may not. Our cell phones won’t work up there so we have acquired some from a different company. I will post the new numbers in a separate post above. Please excuse typos, or awkward grammar, or odd photo orders as the posts today are made under some significant time pressure. Overall, we’re doing great.
