Chaotic post pt.2

 I started this post with a picture that starts our weekend trip to Monteverde, but after that the pictures are randomly placed because I forgot where they go haha enjoy! 


On Thursday night of last week, we all stayed at Esther's to then wake up bright and early to catch a bus at 6:30am to Monteverde and it was about a 4 hours bus ride. There were people from all over the world on this bus. From Germany, France, Honduras (Esther loll), and many other places! It felt cool to be in the same place as many other people from different parts of the world. Which is usually typical wherever you go, but I was more aware of it this time so it was fun to think about. 


Idk how well you can see, but I'm pointing to a sign that points to Wakanda 😆 Wakanda Forever!! Infinity miles away unfortunately. 


Zip lining!!! This was a super cool experience, it was my second time, but this place had more than just zip lining. Like a large tarzan swing, a rappel, and a hollow tree that you could climb through on a ladder. Don't Sam and Matthew look like besties? jajaja 


Tarzan swing!! 


Cloud Forest featuring Matthew the Explorer and Bird Watcher. The Cloud Forest is a biological reserve that has many hiking trails where you can see cool birds and animals! Listening to all the sounds around us was amazing! There were so many different kinds of bird calls, water, insects, and all kinds of things. It felt relaxing to just stand there with your eyes closed while listening to all the sounds.


Just Esther and I sitting on the road in front of some beautiful flowers 😊


We walked SO much! There were no Ubers there, only taxis. I think we walked close to 26 km or more in total that weekend, it was a lot and there's a lot of hills to walk up and down. 


More from the Cloud Forest


The views of the mountains is insane! Also, look how green it is!! Texas could never 😆


On our walk to our hotel we found this really cool abandoned restaurant, so Esther and I decided to take a cool picture in the windows. 


After we had finished zip lining 😎


We got some bomb cheesecake!! Thanks Lagos and Ana for the recommendation!


Another picture from the Cloud Forest when we walked across the hanging bridge. 


Idk, I thought it was cute that someone carved a face into the trunk or maybe it grew that way 👀


Just wild how beautiful it is!! 


We went and explored this tree root thing that looks like a bridge has formed with the roots. It was really cool! 


The first night there we went on this night walk tour where we saw many different insects, animals, and other creatures. This is a cool picture of one of the snakes we saw using the guide's teloscope. I was not that big of a fan of all the bugs around us and being in the dark. However, it was cool. 


I liked this little frog guy 


This was near the tree root bridge where we kept exploring in the rain and mud, what fun!

So, that was our weekend trip to Monteverde! We ate lots of good food, hiked a lot, saw really cool animals and birds, played in the rain, and so much more. 

Same prayer requests as before! Tomorrow we don't have many plans so maybe I'll do a more in depth blog post in the evening 😏
