Saturday, June 17th.
We got up early in the morning and leapt into a bus bound for the rain forest.
Favorite quote during our rain forest expedition (said at least once by everyone in our party): "Hey. It's raining."
Correct response to this observation: "It's the rain forest."
We had a great time rafting. You can see my most important rafting lesson here.
We stopped for a while, upended a raft and ate fresh pineapple and watermelon. And, inexplicably, cookies. The Costa Ricans love sweet food.
This is where you could jump off the cliff. Which I proceeded to do.
After rafting we were treated to some casado. Yum! Then we saw howler monkeys! HOO HOO HOO!! Then we saw a weird animal on the side of the road, eating some Cheetos. It was sort of like a racoon. I guess.
Also, a Costa Rican jumping viper which, thanks to God, no one touched. We also stopped for a photo-op with some large leaves. These double as umbrellas in the rain forest. No, really, they do!
When we got home everyone was sleepy. Almost everyone, I guess. I was hungry.
So we went with our raftmates to a lovely Italian dinner. I got the chicken parmesan. It was quite good. Everyone agreed that Jason's so-called "nachos" came in last place. I must say that, regardless, the company was nice.
Then we went to bed.
