Caribbean, mon!

With Cynthy at the pool

This river's name is Dirty River

Can you see the toucan?

Today we woke up early again and then went out to the pool.  At the pool we saw our friend Cynthy who lives here in Costa Rica.  We met her on our first day here walking in the gardens.  Today she brought a little present for us – a red ball and a thing to identify different birds.  We played with the ball in the pool for a long time.  Then it was time to pack up, eat lunch and go! We met our driver, Francisco, and two other passengers from Texas, Melinda and Reuben.  They were really nice.  On the way to the Caribbean coast Francisco told us all about the area and stopped the van a couple of times to show us toucans and these strange plants that close up when you touch them.  When we got to Cocles it was already dark and our house was really scary.  When I went to bed there were all these weird noises! I had a hard time falling asleep!
