The Beautiful Beach and the Wonderful Waterfall!

Before Zip Lining!
The Costa Rica Crew at the Beach!
Day two with the Costa Rica crew was an exciting day! This morning we got to breakfast at 7:30, well at least some of us, the rest of us had some "alarm trouble". After a quick, and I mean quick bite to eat the crew was out to the rainforest for some awesome and fast zip lining. It was very hot on the hike up to the top of the zip line, but totally well worth it. Going down the zip lines was refreshing and the crew got views that look like they should be printed on post cards!

After some flying through some trees with monkeys and other wild life the crew packed their bags and hit up the “beautiful beach” and went out to lunch. The pizza made the crew feel like they were in Italy for a few minutes, so good! Soon after, the crew headed to the beach. This beach is a black sanded beach with epic waves and caves and so many amazing views! I happen to have my flying disk that came in handy to play with on the sand. Mrs. Bauer as kind as she is bought the crew very fruity tasting pops after the beach. Vince even said he wants his home stay family to keep some for him in their icebox. Then the crew went to the fresh water waterfall and it was so much fun to jump from rocks (don’t worry parents we were VERY careful). Then we returned to the resort for a mid day swim and played “marco polo”. Well what a day, a lot of swimming so the crew needs to sleep well tonight! The joke of the day was when everyone called every single animal a “tapper”, funny because no one in the crew has seen a tapper. So long story short for family and friends “today was great”.

Thanks for the post today. The video almost makes me feel that I'm there. Tell Eleanor I say hi, and that I've been horseback riding everyday in Colorado. Best, Leslie (Tolf)

Yes, thanks for the terrific posts and video! We feel like we are zipping through lush rain forests and jumping off high rocks into waterfalls with you and all those tapers. We look forward to hearing next about your host families and “school work”. Hasta entonces! Clare’s mom
