Granny Becky and The Butterfly Kingdom

That's a real butterfly; not a hair clip!

Granny Becky came to visit last week and we really enjoyed hanging out with her. On one of her last days, we went to a special place just two minutes from our apartment!

We spent a delightful afternoon at Escazu's Butterfly Kingdom. We were given an interesting talk on the life cycle of the butterfly. Did you know that  caterpillar females have no eggs but are reborn as adult butterflies with eggs inside already. Very interesting! 

 After the discussion our guide led us to a building covered in next where we saw hundreds upon hundreds of butterflies. We saw plenty of butterflies from the Morpho butterfly to the common Monarch. The butterflies landed on Granny's head and on our backs and on our hands and we were excited to see the variety and diversity. A beautiful way to spend a day.

Granny stayed at Casa de las Tias Bed and Breakfast, a comfortable, beautiful place with a garden and orchard and an incredible breakfast. The hosts were very friendly as well.
