You realize when you ride in a rain forest, that well, eventually you will ride in the rain. And rain it did. We skip the last little bit of dirt, and get into the Septimo Paraiso Cloudforest Reserve for the night.

Unfortunately for me, we are in a bird reserve. That means that all sort of nocturnal birds squawk, breed, fight, gawk, harass and sing ALL.NIGHT.LONG. In the middle of this picture is a grey bird perched on the end of the thick branch. He's in the owl family. It's a good thing that I didn't find him last night, otherwise I think I would be wearing a nice feathered hat this morning.

Did you know that crickets made chirps by rubbing the hairs on their hind legs together? Well, how much noise do you think this gargantuan cricket can make? He's hanging from the top of light off the nearest chain.

How about a walk to the pools?

Cool off in the regular pools

Maybe sit by the bar fireplace?

It's a comforting thought that this building appears to have some age. I get to thinking how this thatched roof could easily go up like a Roman candle.

Dear god these women can cook down here too!

What's a man left to do but end the day pondering?
