Tapir Hunt

ok heres what has happened in the past few days. Tom and i found roy, roy is a costa rican guy that does some freelance tours on the side. he talked us into this crazy plan (which we executed). We rent a 4-wheel drive mini suv, we drive it out to penninsula de osa. the drive was 6 hours over pothole hell. including another hour long 4 wheel trail to the parque nacional de corcavado. tom rocks and did all the driving. on the way, we stopped at a fishery that had alligators in the back yard, and we got to grab the tail of the alligator while it was eating a fish. if this sounds incoherent, it is because after we got to the park, we backpacked 48 kilometers in 2 days. we have seen all sorts of crazy animals, and lots of jungle. and lots of beach, and lots of bugs. i shall hereafter name the adventure: Tapir Hunt. lots of walking, and we camped at sirena inside the park. more to come on all the animals. on to the future--catching an early plane out of big city, costa rica (puerto jiminez) and flying to san jose. from there we are heading to la fortuna and hopefully will hit the hot springs. ok, im pleasantly exhausted, laters.
