The adventure began today!

Wow, I don't even know where to begin! We got up at 6 am this morning and took off for the day. We had an hour and a half ride to were we ate breakfast. Then we had another hour and a half bus ride to get to the boat that brought us to our next hotel. On the second bus ride we saw both a two and three toed sloths and got to learn lots about bananas and how they grow and are harvested. We got on the boat for our hotel and which was about an hour ride. We got to see lots of different types of plants and that is were we saw a tree that had a line of long nose bats. It made it to our hotel at about 1215 pm and lunch was at 1245 so we got settled in and then went to eat. I am a very picky eater but so far have enjoyed all of the food! We went to town after lunch and there are tons of stray dogs running around, they are very friendly! We got the chance to walk around the grounds or our hotel and we found spider monkeys on the roofs and another sloth in a tree! We also have craps that are living in the ground out back of our rooms. It is very warm here and i am in heaven, i love the warmth and i feel right at home. We went into town and to the sea turtle conservation center and then out to were the mother sea turtles lay their eggs. It was awesome to see that and the ocean! We were able to walk around the town for about 45 minutes and got to see were the kids go to school. Education here is mandatory through high school and they wear uniforms, White tops and dark blue bottoms is for elementary school and then in high school they wear light blue tops and dark blue bottoms. It has been a very Fun and Amazing day! we have free time for the rest of the night and going for a swim sounds just about right! :Looking forward to tomorrow!
