Rafting Pacuare River
The last two days have been amazing. We woke up in the cave and everyone seemed to have slept very well. We then did some hiking to where we jumped into some pools and played in some more waterfalls. After lunch in the cave we hiked out and then met Jose our bus driver who took us on a 4 hour drive to the Turrialba area to put us in position to raft the Pacuare River.
Rafting Adventure Costa Rica
The kids did great on the river as you can see in the video below and they have also done great in every aspect of the trip. Being on time, well mannered to all staff, and extremely fun to be around.
Yesterday we had a set back of a 3 hour traffic jam. Fortunately we were in the mountains with a view of the rainforest but it was still a long wait for the kids. I told them how much I admired the fact that not one of them complained. They played games the entire time and even got myself and Jose out of our traffic jam slump to play a game that I am sure I will be playing with groups in the future called WAHHHHHH! Well hope everyone had a good week. Thanks for following the blog and we will have the kids home safely in a few hours. I will try to get a few more post in of the rappel they did in the cave. Enjoy your Day!

Pacific Ocean and Arrival to the Cave
Well we made it to the cave. It was quite the hike but everyone did an amazing job. We stopped half way and were able to eat some of the banana from a nearby tree and then made our way on to the cave with a minor banana fight between some of us.
At this present moment all the kids are getting the lecture of the do's and do not's of staying in the cave for the night. We are sitting behind a beautiful waterfall which we are actually about to rappel.
Before we made the hike we were able to visit the Pacific Ocean which is about 30 minutes from where we started to hike so we got up around 6am and made the trip out of last nights camp site and then played in the sand for 30 minutes. We also saw our first howler monkeys which is one of the 4 different species of howler monkeys in Costa Rica. We are having a great time and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.
