Hola!
It's Laura and Jeremy here and we're here to tell you
all about our adventures on Sunday.
We started the morning eating breakfast at
our beautiful hotel complete with a suspension bridge! The bridge overlooked
the Colorado River (different river) and was scary but so cool! We were then on
our way to zip lining, but not without a few hiccups. On our way to La Fortuna
we found ourselves right in the middle of a bike race! We were stopped a few
times, once for about a half hour, to let the bikers pass through. The entire
drive we were passing and driving alongside these bikers. We had fun cheering
them on! We stopped at a bakery for some treats, had a delicious buffet lunch,
and then finally arrived at zip lining. A few of us went to a nature preserve for
a guided tour to look at some animals, sloths included! The rest of us braved
the heights and had a blast zip lining. We lucked out with the weather and only
had a bit of rain despite down pouring just an hour before we got there.
Exhausted from a fun afternoon, we headed to Sarapiqui to camp out in our
platform tents. The tents have beds, an attached bathroom, and a covered
outdoor deck overlooking the forest. It poured, lightening and thundered all
night making for a beautiful evening in nature. We stayed dry and enjoyed
another great Costa Rican dinner, good conversation, and a round of Farkle, a
dice game in which Mike destroyed us all, though Mau had a promising come back.
Falling asleep to the rain and distant flashes of lightening was so serene and
the perfect end to our Sunday.
