    Caterpillars are magical creatures! They gorge on Mother Nature's greenery until one day, recognizing they've had enough, they flip upside-down and in that state of suspension built a chrysalis. From that "meditation zone" they undergo a complete transformation that equips them with wings! So the "lowly" crawler becomes a magnificent, graceful creature of flight. Change your perspective on this one, Heidi! (In a children's book I wrote using insects to depict the 12 Zodiac signs, I picked the Butterfly for Libra... but remember, before the wings comes the caterpillar!) Have fun you two adorable lovebirds!

    Love your videos...just found you! 20+ years ago, me & my Costa Rican husband, on our first trip together, stood @100 yds away from the Arenal volcano, for hours! It rumbled, a touch of lava flowed out each time, and we got little black rocks in our hair, every 15 min or so...Wow! Us & one other couple on their honeymoon.. can't do that now!

    The hanging bridges hike is one of my favorite CC site-seeing hikes so far. I think there've been so many great Country Collectors hikes that they can actually be categorized. Meeting-the-ftown hikes, siteseeing hikes, secret beach hikes, heroic and inspiring moutain climbing hikes, etc. The variety of wild life that just chills out there inches and feet from the trail is incredible!

    Hi Heidi and Adam. This is Gloria...and Paul...in Oaxaca. I loved your La Fortuna video. It reminded me of what I loved about our 12 years of living in Costa Rica -- the lush green (have you ever seen so many shades of green?), the wildlife everywhere, the mountains and volcanos, and just the sounds and sights of Mother Nature. Thank you for such a lovely start to the week. ❤️

In New Orleans my friends and I were on a lawn enjoy a concert and a friend came and hugged me tight...unbeknownst to me he squished a spiny caterpillar into my arm....OUCH...it was like fire. Long story short, I had a scare for at least 6 months and now I'm very cautious. Can't wait to here your story. Have fun you two and can't wait for more adventure😂❤
