We spent the day at Manuel Antonio beach in Jaco, Costa Rica. After a long bus ride and then hike we finally were able to run our feet into the sand and swim in the Pacific Ocean. As a surprise stop by our team leader Marta, we were able to see a bunch of crocodiles in the river. Being very careful not to get hit by the traffic on the bridge we saw huge crocodiles and some baby crocodiles.
At the beach most of us swam in the beautiful bath water the entire time only stopping for a picnic lunch that we made ourselves. Some of us passed the football and frisbee while a few of us went on a nature hike. During the hike we saw a lot of the beautiful forest and amazing breath taking views of the ocean. Along the trail we heard many different animals and saw many! We saw two capybaras, birds, and lizards. Just as we were heading back onto the beach we saw a raccoon running with a bag in his mouth that he had stolen from someone on the beach! It was crazy! We had to be careful that the raccoons and even the monkeys didn't steal our stuff.
Some of us were riding in and out of the turf. We all had fun either participating or watching people being basket tossed into the water. We swam out pretty far to these cement blocks that we found to stand on and we all met three Brazilian men. We sadly ended the beach day at 3:30 and off to the Taco Bar for dinner!!!! The food was amazing where we sat at a bar on swings, and some enjoyed a delicious brownie sundae! We will be spending our first night at Brillo del Sol hotel.
