3 Crocodiles = $45

Day 3 (Continued)

This afternoon Amy and I decided to take it easy. We had heard good things from the Runyans about a safari ride down the river. Frankly, I thought the slow ride down the river was pretty weak.



We drove for 30 minutes outside of town and jumped into a river raft. It was just me, Amy and our guide. Pretty cool. The river was around Class I at most. I think I was expecting a ton of wildlife, but we struggled to find animals. Some cool birds here and there. Some howling monkeys on the tree tops. And the highlight of the 2 hour cruise down the river...three crocodiles. Three crocodiles for $45. Oh, well.



Listened to some more Tim Keller on the ride back to La Fortuna. Took another cold shower. Our clothes that I tried to wash was still wet. I wonder if it´ll dry up by tomorrow morning.

We head off to Monteverde tomorrow morning on the jeep-boat-jeep ride over to the Monteverde Cloud Forest. We could have chosen to take a 3 hour horseback ride over, but I don´t think either Amy or my behinds can take the beating. We decided to do the canopy tour of the cloud forest tomorrow. It comes with some zip lining that Amy has been really looking forward to. I´ll tell you all about it tomorrow.
