day 2: lapa rios

flying into puerto jiminez in the little twelve passenger cessna, we look down over the two gravel strips cut into the forest and the small metal bus stop that passes for a terminal. as we land, you notice that there’s a graveyard right next to the airport. just in case.

lapa rios is a beautiful ecolodge on their own private reserve in the osa peninsula. this may be where i want to go if i only have months left to lie. sixteen little cabinas up on the mountain overlooking the beach, right in the middle of the rainforest. there are critters and creatures all around.

the insects at dusk sound like a million tiny car alarms.
