One feature the area had to offer were hanging suspension bridges. They moved a little as you walked on them and had an amazing view of the rainforest. There were about 8 different bridges and some were over 5000 feet off the rainforest floor but still hadn't broken the top of the canopy. The following views are taken from various bridges. Some were on top and some were more in the middle, but from all of them, literally all you could see was green.
Right before we left, we got to see the butterfly garden. #1: there were pink bananas growing! Our guide told us that they aren't edible, but I still think they're pretty interesting to see. #2: The building is the largest butterfly garden in Central America. #3: There were all stages of butterflies and this picture shows the locked shelf full of caccoons. What a sight!
All in all, it was a fantastic Semana Santa. We had an awesome trip and came home early on Thursday morning on the same type of van that took us to Arenal on Saturday. The rest of the weekend was spent with our other housemates and Oky. We spent some time at the Costa Rica Country Club, where she's a member, went out to eat and got to spend Easter morning at church. This week is a little tough, coming straight from a full week off. Even the kids are a little bit out of it this week, but overall it's going really well!
Hope you are all enjoying the warmer Iowa weather I've heard about!
Love in Christ,
Molly
