Thanks, guys.
Doug, Yes it is a butterfly garden. I think that most of the butterflies (and a few new giant hummingbirds) are natives of Costa Rica. It's not very large, but quite warm and very humid (as one would expect). It's a nice place to visit in the winter when the crowds are not so large. The main difficulty is the condensation that forms on my equipment when entering from the chill of a Michigan winter. I get some strange looks as I sit there for 1/2 an hour waiting for my "Zip-locked" gear to acclimate to the drastically different temperature.
