Costa Rica - July 18-24

Wow! Our trip almost gone!

Well, it’s sad to say, but today is our last full day!  Tomorrow is airport day, returning home day, and saying goodbye to friends day.  :_(  We’ve had a lot of fun this week.  Here’s a recount of what we did.

Sunday: Arrived in San Jose and had our welcome dinner, as well as meet new people.

Monday: Visited the sloth rescue center, rode canoes in the rainforest, watched turtles swim into the ocean.

Tuesday: Traveled in a canoe to the Bribri tribe.  Made chocolate, swam in the river, and played soccer with the locals. 

Wednesday: Kayaked to the snorkeling area, snorkeled, and biked back.    Took a night walk in the rainforest.

Thursday: Planted trees at a families farm and went zip lining!  One of the best parts of the trip!

Friday: Milked cows, saw how to make cheese, walked through the rainforest, and went to the fabulous hot springs.

Saturday (today): Took trucks to the rappelling area, where we rappelled down 5 different cliffs/waterfalls!  This was one of the best parts of the trip.  It’s hard to decide between zip lining and this.  On our way back to San Jose, we’ll go shopping. 

I can’t believe the trip is already over!  I’m going to miss all of my new friends sooo much!!!!!  Boo hoo!!!!!  Good bye for the last time on the blog (I’m pretty sure)!
