This morning was a great one. I woke up to the door slamming by my roommate Kellen Comrie at around 7:00 AM. It was hard to get out of bed but I managed and walked out to meet Kellen and Thomas Thompson at the beach. It was beautiful, the small amount of people, the sun already shining so early in the morning, and the vast space all around.
It was so magical to see the beach that empty but also so pristine. After the beach stroll, we had breakfast and went off on our walk through the Manual Antonio National Park. We saw things such as baby sloths, rare frogs, bats, Jesus Lizards, tucans, and monkeys. We had a couple instances where we were only feet away from the white-faced Cappuchino monkeys. After the official tour was over we headed to the beach to play in the water.
The water was so warm and, at times, almost to hot underneath the beating rays of the sun. I ended up being effected harshly by the sun as did many other kids within the group. After playing on the beach we had a Saturday service where we talked about how God worked through us during the trip. After that we had lunch where Clara and I had an idea to tell the resturaunt that it is Mr. Fox's birthday (it's not) and we all shared a good laugh and some free ice cream. A couple of us walked back on the beach to the hotel and saw hang gliders, jet skiers and horseback riders. Then we all relaxed for the rest of the afternoon.
I had a great experience bodysurfing and boogie boarding at the beach during the sunset. That same beach that, 12 hours before, was blooming and was now wilting waiting for another day.
