I, the body and mind behind these shining words on your screen, I, the absence you choose to persevere with, I work as a journalist. In this case I had travelled to Central America to research a feature article about a man from my part of the world who has lived there for many years. Part of the work he does is to give cloud forests like the one where I walked a better chance to survive. This is important, yet this is information. You are not here for information, I assume; but if by now you are sick of this story and starved for facts, you are free to go, you are nobody's prisoner, may I recommend the websites of the World Wildlife Fund and the Costa Rica Internet Directory. Hasta luego!
