Boquete

I finally made it to the mountains, at around 6 o'clock in the morning and checked in to a little hotel to nap and drop my bags off before exploring. The area is very pretty, and like Medellin the temperature is much cooler than all the coastal towns I've been bumming around in lately. Unfortunately, it's also technically a rainforest and it is definitely the wet season. It starts clouding over in the morning and by the afternoon it starts raining. And it doesn't stop. On the plus side its nice going to sleep to the sound of the rain, and it's good motivation to wake up bright and early. I probably won't stick around long though.

Boquete is one of the places they are trying to sell to expat retirees - does it ever get dry? Is there a season to it? Costa Rica had a wet season on the Atlantic side while it was dry on the Pacific side and vice versa, or at least that's what people claimed. My impression of Central America was a hot, humid, buggy place with a mood killing cloud cover.
