Costa Rica: Day 14 - Savegre

Another good day today. A little pre-breakfast birding around.  Adopted a new abandoned puppy for about 30 minutes. I have a photo but it's not going up tonight. After breakfast we went up through the valley (where Dad got some great photos of the Quetzal) and to Cerro de la Muerte in the paramo high country.  Great views, and on clear days you can see both the Pacific and Carribean. Saw some birds up there.  Then back down the hill in the Parque Nacionale de Quetzales for lunch and some hummingbirds. After that, the rain settled in, and we had our first early night back at the lodge. So now it's 8:30, Dad's nearly asleep, and I'm hurrying through this to get some early sleep myself.

Photos of the day (and some from yesterday):
