Day 3 - A Day







Day 3 - July 2, 2010

After a good nights rest, we arrived at the Almond and Coral Resort. From here, we rode bicycles to a nearby beach. We snorkeled the coral reefs and saw some awesome fish! Erique shared, “This is just beautiful.” We traded transportation methods for our journey back to the resort and rode two-person kayaks. As we were paddling, the seas began to swell and we all ended up flipping over! It sure was a good thing we had out life jackets! It was surely an adventure!

We had lunch at the resort in a small restaurant set in the middle of the jungle. As we ate, we could hear the howler monkeys calling each other!

After a four hour drive, we arrived at our jungle lodge in Heredia. Tonight we went on a rainforest walk and experienced the rainforest at night! Luckily for us, 65% of the animals in the rainforest are nocturnal, so we were able to spot a lot! We saw dink frogs, emerald basilisks, spiders, termites, an armadillo, and much more!!
