rafting el rio pacuare

So we went rafting today on the Pacuare river which has class 1 to class 4 rapids. Our guide was Christian and his favorite lines were "Paddle foward mi friends!" and "¡Pura Vida!"



We're so excited to get out on the river and have some fun!


I got a face full of water!


But we made it through the rapids just fine!!


There's a lot more pictures but i'll post them later when i get back into the states. Enjoy the little teaser for now....brace yourselves for the avalanche of pictures that's sure to come!

We're flying back tomorrow morning.... home sweet home!

finally an update!

sorry i haven´t updated more. getting access to the internet is more difficult than i thought it would be. right now i´m in manuel antonio and we have access to the slowest internet ever. and probably the slowest computer as well....quite an excruciating experience. i type a sentence and watch it appear on the screen letter by letter. but i´ll give you a short update...

we´ve been busy with activities in each city we´ve been to. we´ve done zip lining, frog and snake observing, bird watching in the canals of tortuguero with cayman alligators, kayaking at sunset, horseback riding on the beach, nearly attacked by white-faced cappuchin monkeys, and kissed by sloths. thats most of what i can remember doing. i´ll try to upload pictures when i get to san jose. the computer there is much more capable. if i tried it on this computer it might explode!

today we are going to attempt public transportation again. hopefully it´ll be much better than the fiasco in puerto viejo! we´ll be visiting the national park to go the the beach there. maybe if the waves are good we´ll surf in the afternoon.

we´ve been taking hundreds of photos! can´t wait to get back and upload and share our adventure!! check back in a couple days for another exciting update :o)
