Pura Vida

Yesterday was AWESOME!!! The zip lining was incredible. We rode the sky tram to the beginning of the zip lines and we zoomed through the air. If you dared to turn your head, you could see the beautiful view of the lake. It was just amazing. On our way back, we made a stop near the volcano and saw it erupting! There was a lot of lightning and at one point, I actually saw the lightning; not just the flash in the sky. We got in the bus right on time because it started to pour. When we got to the hotel, we had a pretty American dinner (hamburgers) but I didn’t feel too well after dinner. This morning, i woke up at 5:30, but went back to sleep because we didn’t have to get up until 6:00. I woke up again and it was 6:30! I rushed to wake my roommates up and we got dressed and raced to breakfast. Apparently, no one got a wake up call so we were not late. We got a late start but made it to the dairy farm. We all got to milk cows, learn the process of making cheese, and eat the homemade cheese with homemade tortillas. YUM! Now we are on our way to the pineapple farm and I know that we will have a lot of fun there (we get to eat some fresh pineapple). We are also going to have a day tour of the rainforest which will be great as well. After that we are going to the hot springs!!!! The water here is warm at the beach but this will be even warmer which will be very nice. Adios!
