Liana, Delaney, and Sebastian reporting:
Today we swam in the river for the first time. It was very
refreshing but a little muddy. There were ticos (Costa Ricans) who were doing
flips off the bridge and diving back into the water. They were also flipping
off a rope swing into the water and it was really cool. We weren’t allowed to! The
current was strong. Javier was in a kayak watching over us.
One of the three groups went zip lining today. We got to go
on fourteen different lines, the last ones in the rain so they were really fast.
It was amazing and a once-in-a-life opportunity. The very last zip line was
about 600 meters and you got to experience this with one other friend.
One of the other groups went exploring in the rain forest.
We learned more about animals and plants. About halfway through the hike, it
started pouring on us. Everyone one slipped, fell, and got all muddy. Luckily
we had boots on, so we had good feet protection.
We drink a lot of water, and every meal we have many
selections of fresh squeezed juices. Some of the juices are watermelon,
blackberry, zara, tamarindo, and orange juice. Each of the juices has a unique
taste and is something you cannot find anywhere else in the world. So far this
trip has been super duper awesome. DON’T WORRY ABOUT US, PARENTS!!!!!!
