在路上:2009 Costa Rica(31) - 旅馆/寻鸟

话说大的tucan在云雾森林没看到,却在餐馆和旅馆旁的林中见到两回。

Forda Vela旅馆周围林荫密布,下午在附近走了走,看到的鸟儿居然比Monteverde Clound Forest园子中见到得多。旅馆周围种了许多香蕉树,走了一圈,可惜没看见一个黄的。原本小宝想去泳池游泳,摸摸水,太冷了,就放弃了。

晚上躺着看旅馆的介绍,才知道房间的画都是开旅店的哥俩老爹画得。旅馆的介绍很有意思:

The Latin root of Fonda means place of rest or nourishment after a long journey. Vela or candle, for us represents service and hospitality. Owned and managed by two brothers, who grew up on the property, the hotels goal is to promote a greater understanding of the environment and encourage visitors to experience this unique habitat.

The forda vela is located in the Monteverde community and like the first quaker settlers, promotes the ideas of peace and friendship. in 1951, quakers from alabama, usa, migrated to Monteverde in the pursuit of a peaceful lifestyle. since 1951, approximately 6000 people have settled in the Monteverde area.

原来这小镇的历史还和老美的贵格人(Quakers)挂上点关系。Wiki上如此介绍:

贵格会(Quaker),又称公谊会或者教友派(Religious Society of Friends),是基督教新教的一个派别。该派成立于17世纪的英國,反对任何形式的战争和暴力,不尊敬任何人也不要求别人尊敬自己,不起誓。主张任何人之间要像兄弟一样,主张和平主义和宗教自由。贵格会信徒曾受到英国政府迫害,与清教徒一起移民到美洲,但又受到清教徒的迫害,大批贵格会教徒逃离马萨诸塞州而定居在罗得岛州和宾夕法尼亚州等地。

史上的宗教,少不了迫害这两个字。

晚餐是方便面加香蕉和西瓜,当地餐馆贵得吃怕了。

晒晒看到的鸟:


总算让我逮了只tucan,多少是个安慰

今天的故事是:弗弗开在下山的颠簸土路上,突然听见虫儿一声大叫,“咦哈~~”,小乖和弗弗都吓得一哆嗦,一头雾水,虫儿讪讪道,刚才看见路旁一匹马,才想起昨天骑马时忘记喊了。
