We only stayed there for one night, and then ventured off to Jaco (or right outside of Jaco). At this location we got lessons about sea turtles from a marine biologist (and I have five pages of notes from it). We also took Latin dance lessons and attempted to take Spanish lessons, but that didn't exactly pan out.
We saw only two turtles while we were there, but learned a lot about other aspects of Costa Rican nature. We took night walks along the beach in search of turtles which was very interesting. We couldn't use flashlights because it confuses the turtles so it was pitch black. In order to get to the beach we had to trek down a really muddy road. We bought some rubber boots to protect from mud and potential snake bites. They majorly rubbed my legs which was irritating, but it was fun anyways.
On one of our last days there, we stopped at the Manuel Antonio National Park which was awesome. I can attribute most of my tan to our day there. So overall the trip was a complete success. I liked all the people on the trip and got some gifts (mostly for myself, haha, but also for family). As soon as I get pictures and figure out how to put them on my page, I'll do so.
Goal for tomorrow: pack for Connecticut
