We made one stop yesterday which is the Tarcoles river which is one of the most popuated areas in all of the continent for American Crocodiles. We say around 10 of them and they measured up t0 around 15 ft in length. This river is also the division of the Tropical Dry Forest to the north of Costa Rica and the Tropical Humid Forest that runs down the Pacific South of Costa Rica.
We arrived to the hotel around 7pm and the kids all did some exploring and then we had dinner. I have to say I am very impressed with the kids we had dinner together and they all waited until everyone was served to eat their food. You do not see that as much as you use to and it is good to see Heathwood packed some table manners (just thought that would be something parents might want to hear).
The kids seem pretty excited and we have a heck of day planned leaving the hotel around 9am and then heading to a banana plantation. We are actually going to take a walk through an idea to the kids the rough living of the plantation. We plan on visiting some homes and talking a little bit about the history of the United Fruit Company in Costa Rica. Once we make our way out of the plantation it is off to the zipline and tarzan swing. Enjoy you day and if we have signal we will be posting more. The pictures did not come out to good so plan on seeing some better ones today. Thanks for following!
