When nature calls....

I'm a little late post it this blog, but I'm going to tell you about what we did on Sunday... Yesterday, we had a long day of bus rides.  We left San Jose to head to the Caribbean coast.  After a great breakfast with the typical "beans and rice," I was ready to take on the day.  I have to say there are many great things about Costa Rica, but the best would be the fruit.  On our way to the providence of Limon, we stopped at a fruit stand and tried some great fruit.  After trying the fruit, we got back on the bus.  Jorge was our first our driver.  He must've been in the Costa Rican 500.  Those curvy roads stood no chance.  After our long bus ride, we finally made it to the Sloth Sanctuary.  This was so interesting.  We learned to much about sloths and just how unique they are compared to other animals.  After the sloth sanctuary, we went and had lunch at a local restaurant.  Then we were headed to the bed and breakfast that we were spending the night at.  It was right near the coast and right near the national forest that we are going to hike through this morning.  Last night we were also able to go swimming in the pool.  Because this bed and breakfast doesn't have air conditioning, that pool felt like heaven. Dr. Lanier and Dr. Mike asked us why it was economically important for Costa Rica to protect their wildlife?  It's so important for Costa Rica to protect their wildlife because of the tourism that it brings to their country.  Now we are eating breakfast and headed to the national park!
