stuck in the cloud forest

well i'm on the internet again... because it is the only thing i can aford to do here. our friendly hostel staff at sleepers budget hostel neglected to tell us that they lock the common areas from 10 pm to 6 am. it would have been good of them to tell us this.... i dunno when we checked out a locker in the common area... or when we told them we would be leaving at 5am.... so yes... we did not leave our pasports and camera gear... in fact we did not leave at all. we are here for another day... hopefully staying for free... with nothing we can do. monteverde is gorgous... however the cheapest non tour thing you can do is take a ten dollar cab to the park and then pay a 13 dollar entry fee. so thats a no go... today activities may include... buying a bus ticket, siting in a coffee shop, wishing i had my jeans so i could walk along the road in the 65 degree mountain weather with high winds. owell whats a day right. still havnt figured out question marks on here. yesterday was fun though... after our slow tram to coffee we went to the frog museum as i mentioned and then returned at night to see the frogs more active. my favorite was the glass belly frog that you could see through and the iredecent one. then after that we splurged a bit and went to one of the first resturants i have seen on this trip with my favorite desert ever... tres leches cake. the resturant was bult in a tree and the ceiling was burlap covering the leaves with chinese lanterns, there was also a live three person salsa band with bongo drums, and i got a coffee liqour coffee with cinamon and chocolate... i figured i could almost aford this treat seeing as there was no cover charge and i had eaten rice for dinner. oh! and before that we went to a store in t own... without buying a thing, that sold kitchen apliances, clothes, stationary, music, toiletrees, and costa rican manuals about sexual health with cutionalry tales about stds, a childrens coloring book about where babys come from and a sex position manual with a hiku in spanish next to each one.... it was all i could do not to piss myself laughing and buy the 20 dollar book.... but i restrained myself
