The last supper...flashing lights, delicious food, and GREAT company!
Last night we headed to the beach in the dark. Our goal...find turtles. We split up into 3 groups and proceeded to complete different tasks. One group would walk to the south end of the beach, one to the north, and one would stay at home base. We could only use red lights so we didn't scare the turtles. It was hard to see at first but we became adjusted. We saw many shooting stars, the milky way, Mars, and Jupiter.
We started off our day today with a wonderful hike in the dry forest. We then came across the most deadly spider in the land...a baby tarantula. After a nice lunch of Rice and Beans, we packed up some Costa Rican snacks and coke and headed to the beach. After a disappointing night of no wild life we were pleasantly surprised with our findings. We saw many things, such as manta rays, crocodiles, turtles and hermit crabs. We gathered the hermit crabs for the most amazing race of all time. We also rode the waves like true body surfers, cowabunga dudes. We watched the sunset on the beach, it was blastasic. We had nasty hair, sandy shoes, and salty skin, but most of us agree, it was the best part of the trip. We have really bonded as a group and we are sad to part ways tomorrow. But hey we all live within a small radius of each other. We are leaving Costa Rica with a plethora of bug bites, a bunch of new friends, and a whole lot of inside jokes. We ended the night with one big family dinner, and we all shared our favorite memory that will stick with us. Some of our personal favorites are: meeting new friends, drinking out of coconuts, our amazing experiments, hiking in the rainforest, and hiking on the beach at night.
With love,
The one and only Judea Montoya and Leah Maher :)
