So, no, this isn't really a picture of the tarantula we slept with a few nights ago. The one with whom we did share a room at Bosque Santa Lúcia was much much cuter. We named him Tito.We're back from the forest, where the nights are dark and the monkeys (howlers) sound like a dozen diesel 18-wheelers stuck in neutral, revving their engines.
We spent a delightful evening and day in the forest, walking on old trails and swinging in hammocks at Steve & Áurea's reception area (really a little house with wood samples, animal skeletons, and the like in it). We were unaware of this when we arrived on Monday, but later learned that we had the honor of being the first folks to spend the night out at the Bosque. Since receiving power a couple months ago, the convenience of electric lights (and a computer or two) grant solace to the camper: flashlights were at the ready, too, in case our new spidery friend got too close. Thanks, Steve & Áurea! Thanks Tito, hope to see you again soon!
