A taste of things to come

According to the guy who met us at the airport the staple Costa Rican diet is rice and beans for every meal. Anyone who knows my husband will know why this isn't necessarily a good thing. Still, tasty so far although I have succeeded in killing a few taste buds sampling the chillies.
A 12 hour flight but went quite quickly and I caught up with a few films I'd not seen. Warm but it overly so when we arrived and already have a few new birds on my list. Early start tomorrow, heading to the flooded forest of Tortuguero.
