Our goal for today was pretty much to see as much as we could of this beautiful area in as short of time as possible. It turned into a pretty successful pursuit, and we all had a great time. We got up early this morning to swim in the pool at the lodge and check out the nearby waterfall. The pool was pretty gross and the waterfall pretty tiny, but it was still a fun adventure. After that, we all went back to get ready for zip lining. When we were all ready and waiting, the zip lining company called to tell us our shuttle would be a half hour late, so we all kind of split off to do a variety of different things. It was really nice for me to have some quite alone time with God..I really needed it, and He totally met me right where I was at. Its amazing to be able to see the clear ways He has been working even just in the last couple of days with all of our traveling and unorganized planning.
The shuttle finally arrived at 10:45 and it raced down the extremely rocky road to the lodge in order to get us to the zip lining place, Mundo Ventura, on time. Everyone LOVED zip lining! The views were spectacular and everyone made it through safely with a bunch of pictures to remind us of what a great time we had. We moved hotels after our zip lining escapade in order to be closer to town and to have enough beds for everyone. Our new hotel has free wifi, so I've been working furiously all night to update everything before going back to San Jose where my internet access is always unreliable. I apologize for the bombardment of posts tonight, I hope no one feels obligated to actually read them. They're mostly just for my memory's sake ;)
Anyways, we settled into our new hotel and went out for dinner before taking a taxi to a local hot spring to go swimming. We found an awesome taxi driver who showed us right where to go and waited for us so we would have a ride back whenever we wanted to leave. The hot spring was amazing, and we took turns swimming and watching our stuff on shore. After everyone had a turn swimming and sitting in the warm water, we headed back to the hotel for another relaxing night. I caught up on my emails, blogs, and pictures (which are now posted on Facebook) while Michelle and Haleigh went to check out the dancing scene in town and the rest of the girls wisely went to bed early. It feels great to have seen and done loads today, and I think I'll sleep like a baby tonight.
