Reg and Phoebe of SV Three Sheet plus Rich and I are on a road trip. We rented a car and headed for the Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Reserve and hotel near San Ramon. It is pat of the private Los Angeles Cloud Forest Reserve, over 2000 acres of privately held rain forest.
Rich was driving and I was navigating with Google Maps on the iPad. Unfortunately, Google Maps got it wrong so we missed our turn in Los Angeles (thank goodness it was the LA in Costa Rica). Luckily we turned around and while Rich got directions from the owner is a small tienda, I called the hotel to find out which way to go as well.
When we arrived at the hotel, they were waiting with fresh, warm, wet hand towels to wipe our hands and faces and a cocktail made with a Costa Rican liquor made from sugar cane. It was a good sign that we were staying at a special place. Each couple is staying is a separate casita, overlooking the gardens and the property.
We joined happy hour and the. Sat in the small theater to watch a movie on the flora and fauna of Costa Rica. The dinner was excellent.
Since we are up at 3500 feet above sea level it is nice and cool. It will be the first time we are wearing long pants and sleeping in a bed with blankets since we went to the Copper Canyon this past November.
Tomorrow we will be up early for a guided bird watching tour. With any luck I will get a picture or two.
Cheers
