In which things continue

Dear devoted audience,

We woke up in the morning feeling like P-Diddy! Only P-Diddy doesn't seem the type to sleep in cabins filled not quite to the brim with bugs and two fans providing the only source of moving air in the terribly humid air, so not quite like P-Diddy. Sleeping was actually not that bad though; we're just kidding about the conditions, kind of... not really... but honestly we seem to be adjusting so don't worry about it! Breakfast, was relatively similar to the day prior to this one. Ticos(as Costa Ricans call themselves) seem to enjoy a rather stable diet of rice and beans and some other ingestible substance and we ingest it with them! with happiness and joy.

After breakfast, we squished into a wonderfully air conditioned car for a terribly short amount of time. We then engaged in a rather scavenger hunt like activity in which we ran around the forest looking for these tiny clay caterpillars, while avoiding bumping these evil plants that contain these evil ants that attempt to bite anyone and everyone. We then squished back into the car and ended up on the front porch of our wonderful little cabin section. There was a beautiful breeze so we all lounged about in chair and on the floor while engaging in educational activities. We helped with the research by looking interestedly at the strange markings that had appeared on the soft clay caterpillar, recording data etc. and then having a little free time, played games and explored the strange foliage we had found ourselves mysteriously transported into.

We then ate lunch.
It was yummy.

There was a night-hike. Nothing looks the same as it does in the daytime and there were turtles and frogs so it was wonderful.

Mr. Carlson is now lurking behind us in this special way of his "politely encouraging" us to head to bed. Sorry guys. All the wonderful adventures we could not fit into the blog post will have to wait to be described when we head home and regale all of you with magical stories.

Your devoted bloginators,

Very exciting - a night hike in the Jungle!!! How often do you get to do that, if EVER??? (P-Diddy not withstanding....)

And, I think we need to hold you to the promise of describing the rest of the adventures when you "head home and regale us with the magical stories" - we want to hear more!

Thanks, devoted bloginators!

Very nicely written blog. The beach looked beautiful and sunny with all the hard work you've been doing you deserved a relaxing day at the beach. Just wondering if Kerry got up on that surf board. Hopefully a couple of lessons helped all. Half-way through people try to enjoy every moment and making new friends!!!
