this morning i got a lift to cpi from olman hijo (olman jr) who is in med school now. his english is fluent - his bio, chem and world history classes at his private secondary school were taught in english. smart guy. the reason i needed a ride is that the downpour that started last night continued into the morning and i am poorly equipped for costa rica´s winter. the temperature here is probably in the low 70s and in the surrounding mountains even chillier.today´s big achievement - i can now communicate in the past tense.
after class, five of us took a 45 minute ride to the canopy around volcan poas to zip-line. the longest cable was approx. 300 ft up and at least as long. the views of the jungle and the nearby volcano from up-high were impressive. i got the hang of breaking by pulling down on the line after my first try. i hear there´s more canopy and more zip lines to try in monteverde, my next destination, but it´s not thrilling buckled in so securely. i need to think my gear is broken to get the blood flowing.
