Tonight`s dinner of fish and spaghetti was well received, and final plans were made for the next day`s excursion. "We love this hotel!" is a direct quote from a Deal Viking looking over my shoulder.
On the hikes, we saw endangered frogs and spider monkeys, a "bunch of trees" and lots of mud. Oh, yes, there was quicksand, too, and we ALMOST lost a student in the deep mud - but we managed to get her out and moving again. Students climbed vines, saw pit vipers, leaf cutter ants. Mia Straz ate a termite along with a number of her daring friends, and some kind of potato-thing. This snack did not reduce our appetite for dinner, however.
Tomorrow we leave at 6:45 for the long trip to Sarapiqui and the zip line adventure (11 lines) and a pineapple plantation to boot! Your kids are really appreciating this trip and the nature - and will miss their friends, the howler monkeys, when we leave on our boat. Till tomorrow!
Thanks for all the wonderful descriptions. They are so vivid that I think I will miss the howler monkeys too. Glad our kids are having this experience!
