Sunday in the Cloud Forest

Our day today started at 8, when the Costa Rica Crew began our drive up to the cloud forests in the mountains of Costa Rica. We drove up to an elevation of 9000 feet above sea level! Before we began our hike in search of the beautiful Quetzal bird through the forests, the group spent time in the hummingbird sanctuary, waiting and hoping that one of the birds might land on our fingers. Throughout the trail we stopped to learn about different types of trees, some being over 1000 years old. Unfortunately it wasn’t Quetzal season, but we still had a lot of fun in the forest. We played games prepared by Javier that helped us practice our skills for spotting different unnatural things in nature. Once we got back to the resort, we all enjoyed a delicious meal that left us all full. The fresh trout was “muy rico.” We ended the day with a movie night at Nick, Hale, and Felix’s house. We all watched Date Night and ended the day with laughs.
