Day 7: The Beach!!

Sorry for no post yesterday but the nicest resort we´ve been at on the trip surprisingly charges you for the internet! We just wanted to check in with everybody and say hi! We traveled to the coast yesterday (weather is a bit hotter here) and went on a crocodile tour (don´t worry - ten got on the boat and ten got off!!). We have some great pictures that I will post tomorrow when we return to San Jose and the free wi-fi. Today was a pretty slow day but it might have been one of their favorites - they did nothing but swim!! This resort has access to two beaches and two big pools - every kid´s dream!! We leave early in the morning but make several stops along the way as we shop, shop, shop!! Talk to you later!

Day 5: So Much to Do!

Wow! Today was such a busy day. We started our day with a walk in the Cloud Forest. We had quite a hike, but there were lots of interesting things to see in the way of flora and fauna (though it was more of the insect variety than anything else).

Our next stop was definitely one of the things that most people on the trip have been looking forward to the most - the ziplines! We zipped through the rain forest on over 12 different lines and some (sorry Hugh, not me!) even enjoyed a thrilling tarzan swing (we hope to post some video of that later!).

We had the opportunity to visit a school (yes, it's Saturday but the elementary children put a program together just for us and came to school anyway). It was great getting to interact with them and their eyes just lit up at all the wonderful gifts our kids brought for them.

I think a really cool thing was getting to plant a tree in the rain forest. We got to be a part of giving back to the planet!

Day 4: Horseback Riding

Our day consisted of a LONG drive (we left a little before 8 a.m. and didn't reach our hotel until 1:30 p.m.!!) and horseback riding. Check out the photos from today's fun!
