What's a Cloud Forest?



The cloud forest in Monteverde is a pretty amazing place. Instead of being a rain forest it's a cloud forest because of it's high elevation. It is green, cool and rainy and eerily hidden in the actual clouds. This is one of the most eco diverse areas of Costa Rica and a 3 hour drive from us. In the early afternoon, before all the clouds come rolling in, you can also see the volcano from this elevation.

Yesterday a group of us went up to Monteverde to explore this beautiful reserve. Of course, we had to do the zip line! This is one of the highest and longest zip lines in Costa Rica. On one line we got to fly like Superman high above the clouds and forest, so fun and exciting!

I also posted a picture from this past weekend, Ruby and Finn are so cute! The congregation always seems to have an impromptu beach party after Sunday meeting and I can usually get some great pictures of the kids.

I hope everyone enjoys them!
