A Wet and Wild Afternoon

This afternoon brought a lot of water...and a volcano.  

First, we were off to a waterfall and hiked to the bottom--more than 500 stairs!--where we took in the beauty, snapped TONS of photos, and some went swimming. 

Then, it was back to the top....

 and of course, a mid-afternoon snack of Gatorade, Soda, ice cream or Pringles.

 We hopped on the bus and went to Baldi Hot Spring and Spa.

We enjoyed the hot springs, created by the nearby volcanoes.   Two hours of warm baths and a luxurious setting made everyone sleepy and ready for dinner!

 It should also be mentioned that the scenery was stunning (that's the Arenal Volcano in the background!), and lent itself to more photos of course...even of some of the chaperones!!
