Day 5!

So Tuesday morning was nice we got to sleep in!!!! So we got to breakfast a little bit before it closed. They had omelets with the gallo pinto so that was nice, and I love the fruit especially the pineapple!

This is part o the pool, which I thought it was cool! So after breakfast we headed into town and enjoyed the touristy town of La Fortuna! We went to the bank, which took almost an hour to get through the line. They are just slow there! Then we walked into different shops and bought a few souvenirs for those helping us out and our kids! Then we went to a bakery and enjoyed some sweets. However, there sweet down there isn't what I would so is sweet. But, Dave got one of his favorites treats when he was down there. It is called orrayha, I thought they were actually good. Then we went to another bakery and got bread/ham/cheese for lunch the next day.

This is where they keep there trash, so it is off the ground to keep animals away from it!

This is there high school, I felt that the schools down there were very rundown. But all the high schools where green and all the elementary schools where blue!

Eating our treat!

Getting our lunch for the next day!

This is the different types of woods they have down there!

After we came back from town we just relaxed, which it was very nice and green there. I really like it there!

Our room was behind all this greenery! It was nice cause we felt very secluded!

These pictures are from our porch!

I thought this was pretty, and you could also see the tiled roofs. But since it was very humid and rainy; the roofs grew stuff on it!

That afternoon we went on a tour, we went on a nature hike around Arenal volcano. It was awesome to be in a rainforest. We drove up to the point where we started the hike. On the way up we saw this monkey! It was our first monkey that we saw in Costa Rica! We were pretty excited!

This is the base of the volcano, the top was covered with clouds so we couldn't see it!

This was our tour guide Sadie, and our Driver. It was just Dave and I, which was so nice cause she spent a lot of time answering questions we had about the area and the rainforest! There were many groups that came behind us and left before us!

Everything was so green! There actually wasn't lot of flowers there was a lot more greenery!

We saw this frog and it was crazy how camouflaged it was!

It started to rain on our hike, and our guide let me use her poncho (since we didn't think it was going to rain!). It was a very light rain, but since we were under the trees it was heavier! So Dave was thankful that Jeff let him use one of his hats!

While we were on on hike we did here the volcano erupt! The rainforest was awesome to be in!

After the tour we went to Trabacon Hot Springs! We had dinner, which was amazing. It had lots of vegetables and salads! It was a Italian based buffet! This is the dessert table. It wasn't fond of the desserts, but we tried the different ones!

Then after dinner we spent about 2-3 hours in the different hot springs that they had! It was very relaxing! They even had this little water slide on one of pools that spit you out on the bottom! It was fun. It was kind of fun to have it rain the entire time! Next time we would go on the morning hike and have lunch and then go in the hot tubes so we could see how beautiful it was!
