Rainy Season

I arrived in San Jose this morning and was greeted by typical Latin American rainy season weather: heat and humidity in the morning, thunderstorms with torrential rain in the afternoon! I left my hostel unprepared and wound up getting completely soaked on the walk back. And according to the weather report, this is what I have to look forward to in the next month at least!

San Jose isn´t very interesting, although it is surrounded by lush forests and has a more tropical feel than the South American cities I visited. So tomorrow I´m off to Tortuguero National Park to watch some turtles laying eggs and hopefully see some monkeys!

And in a non Latin American aside, Congratulations to Alison and Basil on the birth of their baby boy, Henry Jacob!
