Tortuguero!


We made it to Tortuguero yesterday! It was a 3 hour van ride from Alajuela and then a 40 minute boat ride because there are no roads to Tortuguero. No cars around here...just bikes, lots of walking, and a couple of ATV´s.

Our room is nice as long as the fan is directly on you at all times, but the bed is comfortable enough. From our room, we can see the Caribbean Sea, and the view is amazing! The roosters didn´t start this morning until 5 AM, but we had to wake up around then anyway for our canoe tour.

It was awesome! We saw howler monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, blue herons, tiger herons, caymens (sp?) and more! One of the spider monkeys was less than 10 feet away as it went foraging for food.

It is absolutely beautiful here. Check out the greenness up above.

We are off to take a nap!
Love you all!

PS The toe is doing great --- strong enough to put on the Keens today!
