Brooklyn Park got wet in the rainforest!

This is Mr. Stottlemyer… We’ve had a busy 2 days thus far!  Our first day consisted entirely of travel, however we made it to Costa Rica in great spirits.

We started early this morning to head for the Caribbean coast.  We had a brief ride on the Pan-American Highway, followed by a ride on CR 32 through the volcanic mountain range and over the continental divide.

We arrived at Veragua Rainforest Research and Adventure Park in Limon.  We viewed the canopy from a tram, hiked to a waterfall, and assisted experts in methods that further butterfly understanding.
