MonteVerde, Costa Rica!

Finally our new hotel has internet! We spent the last few day (including my 32nd birthday!!!) at MonteVerde. On of the most amazing places on earth. Definately one of the most biologically diverse!!! Enjoy some pictures of MonteVerde area! Oh... it was still raining there... but the last 2 days we finally got SUNSHINE!!!

On our last full day there in Monteverde we went into Santa Elena the town nearby and walked around, we found the Orchid Garden. They have over 500 of the 1600 species in Costa Rica in their Garden. Only about 125 species were blooming now though... This one blow is the smallest orchid in the world... See the little flower? It is right next to my diamond!! Isn't it small!!!!? They actually gave us magnifying glasses to look at the flowers with... there were quite a few that were very small! This flower was actually about done blooming, soit was not looking so good.
