One of the things that’s really neat about Costa Rica is la naturaleza – the nature. We’ve already showed you photos of the lush forests, secluded beaches and monkeys. There are also lots of critters, and not just scorpions.
There are lizards and geckos, iguanas and bats, crabs and frogs. Just yesterday, we caught this crab trying to get into our house.
There are also these really, really tiny ants that hang out in the kitchen if we don’t clean up thoroughly, as well as the occasional biting ant. Today, this poor frog was stuck in the swimming pool.
Who knows how long he’d been in there? He kept trying to jump out, swimming around the perimeter frantically, so I used my flip-flop as a launching pad for him. I may have made a ridiculous scream-squeal at the same time.
This week, we’re looking forward to some fun activities being offered through the school: a cooking class, nature walk, and coffee tour. Also, our classmate sent us some more photos from our bus adventure on Saturday. Ominous clouds led to us getting totally drenched, and wandering down a jungle highway.
