Right now the rain is coming straight down in Manual Antonio at what must be about 10 inches per hour, so the Prior Family is resting up and using the hotel wifi.
It is the “rainy/green” season, so we’ve been pretty lucky so far. Sunny/cloudy in the morning/early afternoon most days. I’ve taken about 350 “keeper” photos over the last 5 days but it will take the home computer power to get them all processed.
Here are some highlights after day 5:
We started in Monte Verde for 3 days and then traveled to Manual Antonio. The last 20km to Monteverde is like the Mt. Wash Auto road, but much rockier and pot-holed. It takes about 1:20 to cover 12 miles.
We’ve seen some wonderful diversity of nature including grabbing a rare photo of a Bell Bird and a Toucan together.More than the sights, its the sounds here. It is like Jurrasic Park — literally — they used bird sound audio from a friend of of one of our guides.
Will check in again in next week before we go off the grid to the Osa.
Great pictures.
Your animal group is getting more acclimated. Artemis is just now thinking about venturing outside, but he seems quite happy to stay in. Lucy stays pretty quite, but purrs. Louise likes the dog, the cats not so much.
Thank you. Good to know they are OK. Is Kay getting some walks in?
Gorgeous scenery – almost makes me want to try such a trip. ALMOST Great experience for the family- Kayla & Jared, especially. Guess they’re too old for “what I did on my summer vacation” but what a story. Enjoy the rest of the trip.
Glorious pictures! You bring us to the setting of wild life, and place, with these pictures, Jack. Lisa, Jack, Kayla, Jared-you all show pleasure and delight with your discoveries and activities. Enjoy some more on Your Amazing Family Vacation! …love the update LGram
Fantastic pictures! Looks like great fun.

Boy, I’ve said it before, Kayla and Jared are blessed for so many reasons. This time to be able to be in Costa Rica and see some wonders of this great planet. These are the memories that will be with them, and you and Lisa forever. Love to see love between Jared and Kayla. Reminds me of my grandkids. Truly, the words, wish you (I) were here. Stay well and safe. Hugs
