A Walk in the Rainforest

Our afternoon was spent walking...in the rainforest, the Reserva Bosque Nuboso Santa Elena.

Our guide taught us about the flora and the fauna.   Those who wanted to, could touch a millipede that was found!

We continued on, looking up, listening, and paying attention to where we walked.

We didn't see any big animals (those at the very back of the line saw the Costa Rican version of a wild turkey---it looks VERY different!), but we were treated with one final surprise....

There, right behind our bus, was a.....

TARANTULA!

We couldn't have asked for a better ending to our day!!!

We're having a terrific time here in Costa Rica!!!!  We made a stop for snacks at a local convenience store and headed back to our hotel.  We have been having an evening with dinner, talking, and sharing.

Tomorrow holds more excitement....but you'll have to visit our site tomorrow to see what adventures we have! :)
