What is it??
On the trail off Poas we found the weirdest plant. The leaf texture was very rough and inflexible. And the dark red stem was covered in little droplets, which stung a little bit to the touch. The three of us marveled at its freakishness, while Steve retold the piece of advice his botanist friend had said about Costa Rican plants: something like "if you don't know what it is, don't touch it."
On the way to San Jose from Arenal, the five of us stopped in a little town called Zarcero. It was a beautiful day, and they have this great park in front of the city church. I was remarking to George how nice this place would have been to stay at, it not being as hot as Uvita, when we learned from a local that this sunshiny day was the exception, not the rule. This was the first clear day they'd had in a long time.
If you're in Uvita follow this sign!
Hot!
Wouldn't be complete without a picture of this. Playa Hermosa.
