Costa Rica




November 12th Took tour to private rain forest. Passed a river which numerous alligators on the banks. In the forest we rode an arial tram to top of mountain where we enjoyed sailing down on 10 zip lines to the bottom. Spotted a sloth and a toucan in the trees on our ride up. Lunch in a large open air thatched dining area. Great meal of chicken, rice, beans, fruits and juices. Started on a guided nature walk to view the snakes and flora of the forest. Only made it part way when the rains descended heavily (did I mention rain forest?). Back on our bus we passed by several volcanoes, one which is active, and small villages with very narrow streets. Rain only fell at higher elevations.
