Independence Day: Costa Rican Style

Happy 4th of July! It's currently raining and subsequently there are no fireworks. We woke up early this morning to get to our zipline adventure. After a 20 minute bumpy ride up the mountain we glided down 11 cables, passing over the trees, toucans, waterfalls and rivers. It was exhilerating! At the end we had the option to ride on a large Tarzan swing where Brittany showed off her impressive lungs. See video below for the experience. Next we journeyed to a secluded beach, Playa Ventanas (Beach of windows) and explored the dripping caves at low tide. We just made it out from the beach before the sky opened up in a torrential downpour. The storm, packed with impressive thunder and lightning, continued for the rest of the evning as we enjoyed some peaceful time back at the ecolodge reflecting on our trip. We're off early in the morning for the airport to fly back home and are looking forward to seeing everyone!
