mountaintop

Yes, you guessed it...back in Monteverde.
I arrived yesterday night in the public bus and shooed away at least 4 people trying to offer me info on local hostels...my big backpack and printed pants sure made me stand out, but don't let my looks decieve you. I am no tourist in this town.

For at least the next week and a half I will be here, working in the office and I think training a couple new chaperones. We will see...this job is always fly by the seat of your pants, and my schedule isn't set in stone til the day before (or during high season, the day-of).
Yesterday I accompanied E to the airport and bid him farewell on his visit to the USA. It is just a little while, with contacts he made while at sea. But it sure felt strange and sad to leave him there at the airport...! But just as soon we will be greeting each other again, and next time we travel we will be boarding the plane together.

Amazingly enough it hasn't rained yet today! We are enjoying a dose of strong mountain sunshine, and I am like a little lizard according to my compañeras, always sunning myself whenever I get the chance. Just glad I do not have to run around under my rain jacket...at least not yet. For now I am getting the most out of my sunglasses.

Pura Vida
