So the next day in
Monteverde, we woke up early to go on our
Zipline adventure! But, we were sure if we were going to do it cause of
the rain/wind/cold. We had breakfast and by this time I knew what I liked on the buffets. I would have big
plte of fruit, an omelet, and there they had this great banana bread it was so moist. C
ause for some reason (I know Dave told me the reason but I can't remember) all the baked goods are really dry. After they were their to pick us up and we talked with them and
they told us it would be fine. She we decided to do it!
I guess the weather is pretty much like this throughout the year, except in March. So they had they heavy
rain coats for us (and it also try to keep us fairly clean).
I was pretty excited but pretty scared! I am not so into sky high heights!
This was the last plate form that we went to, and their were 9! Which was a good thing. Because the first one was a practice one, and it was maybe 30 feet down.
All ready
Getting ready!
Teaching us how to do it! This tour guide was really patience and I really needed
that. So the second
platform I cried cause it was really high and chickened out and I went across with the tour guide! IT was really winded, but they kept telling us that it wasn't bad. It was only 60 MPH winds and the day before it was 80 MPH and they had to close it down cause it was too dangerous! By the third one I went with Dave cause you had to do it in pairs, I was doing better. By the fourth one I just went and didn't think about it! Dave loved it, and I thought it was fun and I am glad that I did it
even though it was one of my fears!
We got really dirty with the rain and the dirt from the cables!
I look tan or something, and this
was after they gave us rags to wash our faces!
We came back and ate lunch and took a nap, at this time I could tell that I was really missing our kids cause I was dreaming about them!
That afternoon we went horseback riding! We went with a big group of teenage girls.
It was very pretty, but I can't say that I liked it cause my horse was SO SLOW! The only time it would gallop or anythings was when the master had a stick behind him! My horses name was
dynamite!
After our ride! (I wore a hat
even though it wasn't raining but the helmets didn't
have a pleasant smell to them!)
That night we went to a Soda, and I had typical Costa
Rican meal- rice/beans/beef with some squash and they had a
tomatoe with lettuce. It was actually pretty good!
That night it was starting to clear up!
I loved the clouds there! In
Monteverde it is called a
cloud forest and just loved watching the clouds fly by!
After we went out on a fishing boat that took 15 minutes away on this secluded white sand beach!
They would take us on this small little boat and then transfer us to the bigger one!
From my little experience I can say that I like white sand beaches!
It was so relaxing at the beach, when we got hot we would go for a swim. It was nice cause there wasn't any large waves! So I almost forgot that it was salt water-almost!
We found this little spot to relax under the trees!
This was the view from where we were at! We enjoyed the last day relaxing before we left Costa Rica!
That night we went to a Tex-Mex Restaurant, it was a fun atmosphere. It was nice to have pico de gallo! We had a lot of that, I sure miss our American style Tex Mex, so it was nice that we got some when we were their!
