Playa del Coco, Costa Rica -- evening

Today has also been another good day. I woke up at 6am to shower and then eat breakfast of gallo pinto con huevos picados.

Even though our appointment at Sky Trek in Santa Elena Reserve was at 7:30am, we left Dona Virginia's house at that time. I trucked going over the dirt and gravel road to arrive at the entrance to Sky Trek at 7:40am; we were right on time. The Sky Trek was absolutely amazing. We hiked some trails and went down about eight ziplines, some of which were either really long or really high off the ground. We got some great action photos. Of course I was yelling and cheering and letting my hands off the bars. It was a blast.

So after about two and half hours of that, we began the Sky Walk, which is a series of suspension bridges connected by hiking trails. Again, we got some great action shots, including one of me hanging upside down from a tree branch.

That brought us to about 11:30am, when we drove back to Dona Virginia's house. After we packed the car, a Suzuki Ignis, we ate lunch with Dona Virginia. We ate rice, beans, fried cheese, green beans with egg batter, and hard shell tortillas. This was accompanied by a drink of fresco de chan, which is made by soaking chan seeds in water.

At 1:30pm, we hit the road to Guanacaste. I was cruising once we hit the PanAmerican Highway, averaging about 100 km per hour. Of course, I got stopped by la Fuerza Publica when they clocked me at 102 km/hr. I bribed the cops by paying them 6000 colones to avoid any other problems. We continued on our journey after that minor incident.

Ok, it's evening right now in Playa del Coco, and Paul and I have been drinking and having a good conversation. I'll stop here and pick up later.
