A Day in the Forest and on the Beach!


Today was amazing; early in the morning after a nice breakfast of rice and beans with some eggs we were prepared for our hike in the dry forest. We got to meet our guide, Freddy, right before we left Horizontes. He was an awesome guide from the start all the way through. So in order to get to our hiking site, we rode a trailer being pulled by tractor, which was super fun. After the tractor ride we reached our hiking location., the dry forest The place looked amazing, just like the rain forest. During the hike we got to see all sorts of plants and animals. Our guide Freddy showed us some leaves that smelled really good. He also showed us many unique trees. A little while later, we heard some monkeys. We didn't know which kind they were, but we thought they were either howler our white faced monkeys. Luckily after taking a few more steps we got to see what kind they were, and they turned out to be Spider Monkeys, which are the rarest monkeys here. After finishing our hike we got a nice break and ate some watermelon with ice tea. Around 11:30 we arrived back at Horizontes, had lunch, and took a little break before the beach. Then around 2:00pm we headed out for the beach. At the beach we got to swim in the ocean and have fun in the waves. When we were done swimming we had fun in the sand by making sand castles and even mermaids. then at about 5:00pm we had the most delicious BarBQ ever. We got to eat some really nice beef, chicken, soy burgers, plantains, chips, tortillas, and some drinks as well. Then the day was over, and now we have to pack so we can arrive early in the airport and get home. See you all soon!!
