It was a privilege to be able to stay within the park. Cabo
Blanco was the first National park in this peninsula and is absolutely
beautiful. We took a six-mile round trip hike to a lovely beach where we
enjoyed “becoming one with the forest” as David says and relaxed on the
secluded beach. On our hike we saw dear, white-faced monkeys, howler monkeys
(including a baby one), coatis, and many bird species.
Interesting: the name Cabo Blanco comes from the white of
the rocks that result from the guano of the brown booby bird. Also, we learned
that all sport hunting has recently been outlawed in Costa Rica as well as
owning any animals in your home other than a cat or a dog.
As we check the weather for Marquette and note that the
schools there are closed for the third day in a row, we wish we could stay here
forever lounging in the warmth. But alas, a ferry is waiting to take us to
Alajuela, our last stop before we are homeward bound.
