Sad to leave...

This area is gorgeous, and we made some good contacts. We hope to come back one day. Tomorrow we will take a ferry across Golfo Dulce to the town of Golfito, where we will get a bus to Boquette, in the mountains of northern Panama for a few days. Will check in from there in a coupld days or so. Kendra, if you are reading this, getting to Corcovado National Park turned out to be more complex and expensive than we expected. We plan to try another time, knowing what it entails. Sounds like some things have changed since you were there. Still... we had a very nice hike today in the Montapalo Area, down the Peninsula from Puerto Jimenez. We saw many, many monkeys, gorgeous beaches covered with pelicans, more scarlet macaws. At one point, we heard something screaming... my guess is a puma (mountain lion) close to us. They really have no interest in people... kind of exciting once you know that - so we didn´t see it. Anyhow, we are back in Puerto Jimenez safe and sound. And oh yes, we are hoping our hotel in Boquete will have a computer where we can upload pictures. Onward! More in a couple days or so.

Corcovado was elusive for us too, because it was closed due to a virus in some of the animals, if I remember correctly. We just hiked on the border of it. But that's the beauty of the Osa, because anywhere you hike is so much like Corcovado. You had a great experience there...I wish I could have heard that puma or whatever it was! Puerto Jimenez sounds the same in spirit.

I am loving getting to know some of the other Central American countries through your experience there too. :)
