Today las tortugas candados had an amazing last day on the coast!! We woke up for breakfast at our hotel around 7, consisting of scrambled eggs and the famous rice and beans of course! It was a beautiful sunny day, just perfect for our adventurous schedule. After breakfast, we rode our bus about 30 minutes away to Cahuita National Park where we met our 2 guides, Alex and Taz, who took us snorkeling!! We rode on 2 different boats out into the clear, blue water. We all looked mighty cute, I must say, in our huge goggles and flippers:) We got to see all kinds of fish and many amazing coral reefs. When we were done exploring, the boat took us to another part of the shore where we parted from our guides. Here, 2 monkeys were casually walking around us while we snacked. A few of us got in trouble for trying to feed and touch them.. Not naming names(squad rules). After our short break we hiked in our bathing suits on a trail along the beach, seeing the occasional snake, sloth, or monkey hanging out in some trees. When we got back to the bus, we drove to lunch which had(can you guess?!) rice and beans!! Then, we drove to town and got to walk around for an hour. I think every girl has their share of Costa Rican bracelets now! After town, we had the rest of the afternoon to hang out on the beach. We started a game of football(American). Typical Americans, pale and playing football like a bunch of gringos. We even had our local friend, John, join in our game! Our chill afternoon perfectly describes Costa Rica, no worries mon. Then we showered(we actually do shower parents) and went to another amazing meal for dinner. Solid day, I must say. Sad to be leaving the Carribean, but we are excited to start our next journey as the squad we are. Hey madre, padre, and Jack. Jack- hope you're holding down the fort while I'm gone.
¡Pura Vida!
