Maybe today I fell in love with Costa Rica. There I was walking down their rinky dink street at 6:30 this morning on my way to the bakery, and it occurred to me: I like this place!
Our adventure today was an ATV tour to the "top of the world". It was amazing! It was absolutely beautiful - so lush and green and pretty - and a thrill at the same time! Kate said it was "like a dream" because she was really excited to do it, and butterflies flew around us! Chris got a kick out of his ATV's warning label: no drivers under 16, don't drive on public roads, and don't have passengers. We broke all 3 rules! The guys were a tad disappointed that they didn't get to take off on the beach (like we did in Mexico) because the beaches are protected here. We rode all the way up to overlook the coast for miles, and then returned by way of 5 beaches. Playa Danta was the best. It had "toys" to play on - rope swing, regular swing, a tightrope and hammocks.
Halfway through the ride we stopped to see some monkeys in a large cage (similar to a cage at the Folsom Zoo). They were so cute! This one came down to the bottom of the cage and stuck its arm out a small hole. It wanted food - grass. It held our finger; its fingers were so soft and its grip was delicate - kinda like holding a newborn's hand.
After the ride, Greg and I laughed as we watched our right thumbs...either from tired gas trigger fingers or old age, or both, they were twitching on their own accord!
Just as soon as we got back, Greg's statement, "I'm disappointed it hasn't rained yet" was just as effective as a rain dance. It rained for about 30 minutes and then called it quits for the day.
I have beautiful pix of today on my camera but unfortunately can only attach the bad pix my phone took through the waterproof case.
