Part II

After river rafting we hit the beach for the next 3 days. We spent hours and hours boogie boarding on some awesome waves. After those 3 days were up we were glad to move on to a more cloudy area...our sunburns kicked in on about the second day. On our way from one beach to another we came across the famous bridge that is home to many alligators. We fed them my left over roll, but decided to get some real food. After a quick stop to the store we came back with some ham. But little did we know that some tour guide would already be there lowering chicken down... the alligators when wild!

The famous Crocks...we counted at least 24 on our side of the bridge!

We took our rental car for a little off-roading up a hillside to over look the ocean. As you can tell Costa Rica is in its "dry" season.

Our next stop was in La Fortuna, home of the Arenal Volcano. We enjoyed hiking down to La Fortuna waterfall and exploring the dense jungle. We also joined some locals down under a bridge where some awesome hot springs are found. To end our journey in Costa Rica we headed over to Monteverde and experienced our very first canopy tour. This included 15 zip-lines, rappelling, and a gigantic Tarzan swing.

Local Hot Springs....amazing!

Tree House Cafe. Way sweet restaurant that has a tree in the center and you sit up in the branches.

Our lovely zip-line attire. Our canopy tour was amazing and we had some incredible views as we zipped over jungle valleys.
