Bridges, Termites, Baby Sloths...OH MY!!

Greetings from Sabrina, Asha, and Neel!!!! Started our morning with rice and beans (see a pattern here?), eggs, and pancakes, and followed up with some serious off-road trucking.  Seriously, why can't we pull stuff like this in the states?

Anyways, took a long trek through the rainforest/cloud forest canopy with some scary, rickety bridges over 120 feet above the ground. Eat your heart out, Indiana Jones.

Then another slightly shorter but just as bumpy drive to a nature preserve which had SLOTHS!!! We almost had a heart attack because of the cuter than cute baby sloth. :D We could have spent hours staring at him.


Then we saw the "Brad Pitt" of the rain forest...the red-eyed tree frog. "Brad Pitt" and Mr. Carlson had a moment together when the tree frog jumped out of Jesus' (Costa Rican tour guide) hands and straight onto Mr. Carlson.


The truck ride back was pretty awesome. Afterwards we had dinner which had guess what? More rice and beans (and some other stuff...don't worry, we're eating well)! Neel Bose proclaims that he will never eat Chipotle again. We just want to say that Costa Ricans are very friendly and they are very willing to show you their culture. We also saw this cute little chica as we were leaving. Of coarse we got the "if you're not my mom don't talk to me" look, but either way the people here are beautiful. PURA VIDA!!!


P.S. We are now part of the I ate a bug club!!! (termites)
        BTW they taste like carrots and/or lettuce. We have some pretty brave souls here!!!



Tomorrow we tackle the sun and surf :)

Vamos a la playa, a mi me gusta bailar
El rico de la noche, sounds of fiesta!!! (google it)
