Wow!

So there have been a lot of amazing experiences and not a lot of internet access...
We spent time up in the tree tops around Monteverde and enjoyed the amazing views and some of the very interesting animals that live in this area. We also had a wonderful horse back ride through the jungle, and lived at a dairy farm and then went to the cheese factory for a tour. Then we made our way to Manuel Antonio yesterday we had a wonderful (national Geographic-esque) tour of Manuel Antonio National Park - some of the animals we saw:3-toed Sloths, 2-toed Sloths, Tucans, bats, rainbow crickets, white faced monkeys, howler monkeys, tree frog, spiders, turtle, camen, Iguanas, lizards, crabs, and probably more! It was amazing and our guide absolutely incredible! He would stop set-up his telescope and get a smirk on his face waiting for our response as we looked in the view finder to exclaim - how did you see that!? We then spent the rest of the day bobbing in the ocean, and the girls thought that it was fabulous!
Today we went dolphin watching and snorkling, unfortunately the weather turned a bit and the waves came up so we had to go to a small coral reef and were not able to see any dolphins, we did however, see a sea turtle! It was a great day to essentially end our trip. In a couple of hours we will be back in San Jose and will fly out tomorrow morning :(
It has been an amazing adventure!
