Today was awesome! After a delicious breakfast, and a rather early morning, we began our journey on an awesome bus tour through the San Barillo national park, where we got to see an amazing cloud forest! Out guide, Eddy taught us all about the ecosystem in the cloud forest, as well as some interesting history of the area. Once we had left San Barillo we took a stop and had a second breakfast. Eddy spotted a three-toed sloth (Yay! Ms.Monroe, and everyone else, got to see one). After filling our stomachs, and finding a sloth we headed back on the road. As we drove we got to learn all about the plantations, what it takes to grow some of the produce, and the pros and cons of the job. After passing through many little farming towns, we arrived at the shores of Tortuga, where we drove up the river till we met up at our hotel! After a short stop to set our bags down, we headed back onto the river where we took a boat tour. We saw Monkeys, Black Hawks, Turtles, Iguanas, and more! To finish off our boat ride we stopped at a little village on the side of the river where we got to walk along the beach and shop at some of the local stores. Once we were done we headed back to our hotel where we swam in the turtle shaped pool to cool off from our amazing but also hot day. After a short swim, we ate dinner at the lodge, and then we returned to the pool again. Our day was so much fun and had plenty of exciting and educational adventures we will never forget!
