As usual we spent the night at the La Quinta near the San
Antonio airport. This allowed us to
leave our car at the hotel and take the hotel shuttle to the airport. We got on the 4:30 shuttle and arrived at the
airport in about 10 minutes. Our United
flight from San Antonio to Houston was on time as well as our flight from
Houston to San Jose, Costa Rica where we arrived at 11:30 a.m. CST.
We made our way through the Juan Santamaria International
Airport to find our driver, David. We
had a 5 hour drive to Esquinas Rainforest Lodge.
We both lost our usual bet of what would be the first
bird we saw (neither of us picked a Great-tail Grackle). That’s okay, we’ll still get a DQ Blizzard
when we get back home.
We stopped for lunch but otherwise
it was an uneventful trip.
It was too late to do much but get settled in our room
and have dinner. It had been a very long
day.
Room # 16.
This was our fourth trip to Costa Rica and our first time
at Esquinas Rainforest Lodge. Esquinas
is a 37-acre private reserve in the jungle of remote Piedras Blancas National
Park in southern Costa Rica. There 18
rooms.

Esquinas and our first tour

Looking forward to seeing more!
ReplyDelete3:30 am? That time is not on any of my clock. I am glad the first day went well, even if it was long day. My guess on your first bird was a Great-tail Grackle, so I guess I can go get a DQ Blizzard.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!!
