Feb 28 -- traveling to La Palma

We piled on another bus early this morning – an air-conditioned one, yuck! I was freezing, and then got off for a break and sweated, got back on and froze again. Took Dramamine and slept the trip away, as I always do. We started on the Pan-American Highway but spent the last couple of hours on progressively worse roads into the Osa Peninsula, definitely vomit-worthy. We drove into the small town of La Palma and unloaded. We have time to unpack and repack here – internet access, too! (That was unexpected). Tomorrow we’ll hike in to Corcovado National Park, where we’ll be staying at Sirena Biological Station for 8 days. It’s the best place in Costa Rica to see wildlife, something like 40,000 hectares, most of it old-growth lowland rainforest. I should have some good stories when I get out.
