Class this morning from 8 to noon. I did get all of my homework done last night. Well everything that was going to be due at least. We had a pretty relaxed day in class, since it was Friday and the teachers must not have felt like being mean. My advanced class played a few games and watched a movie. I know, sounds really rough. But, after a quick lunch, I had to rush home and get my things because the bus left for the weekend at 1. It was a little bit tight to get back on time. The drive to Manuel Antonio was about four hours long and soooo beautiful. We stopped at a bridge overlooking Rio Tarcoles to watch some crocodiles. They were huge! And it was a little crazy being about 20 feet away from a 10-15 foot reptile like that. Then it was back on the bus to finish the trip.
The first thing that I noticed about Manuel Antonio was the humidity. There was basically a wall of water right outside of the bus door. When you hit it, you instantly began to sweat and feel sticky. However, the views make the constant sweat worth it. The hotel that we were staying in was gorgeous as well, and about 3 minutes from the entrance to the National Park. We all got checked in and then a down pour of rain began to fall. Sheet and sheets of water it seemed, came straight down for about 30 minutes. The sun sets very early here; around 5:30 local time. Which is a bit crazy. I found my way back down into the small town by the beach for supper, and then a walk in the dark along the beach. The waves crashing along the beach is so soothing, and helped to get rid of some of the tension from the past week. It was advised that we not swim at night due to the strong currents, so I headed back to the hotel and took a dip in the pool before bed. The morning was going to start bright and early with a rain forest adventure, so both me and my camera had to be ready.
