Our canoe adventure!

So, today we went and explored the Tortuguero canals by ourselves.


We (meaning Tom) spotted lots of cool wildlife --- like an igauna, a monkey, lots of birds, and a cayman. I noticed the bright white birds...once I noticed something more subtle.


It was a lot of fun in our canoe. Sometimes, it felt like we were the only people left on earth as we went around these amazing areas. Other times, we could still hear motorboats so we knew the apocolypse hadn´t happened yet. :-)


It truly made us appreciate our guide from yesterday -- our arms are killing us!! 3 hours of rowing is a bit more than our usual routine.


When we returned, we ate our Tico (meaning Costa Rican) breakfast...see below...

Okay, so are not too sure how authentic the fantas are, but the beans and rice (pico gallo) are served with everything. We are at 4 meals running now...
I think we are going to go look at turtles tonight...or try...they may not be there, but we will be!!
Love you all!!

  2. I think Fantas are authentic for Costa Rica - I mean, how often do you see it in the US? Beans and rice - yummy ;)
