I had my midterm test this morning and my hand was a wee-bit cramped after almost 4 pages of writing. Gotta love "los examenes de produción". Then I had time to run home and pack for Arenal and Monteverde, before catching lunch with the roomies. Finally, at 1 pm we were off on another adventure, this time to Arenal, to see a volcano and swim in the thermal waters around it and then on to Monteverde to go zip lining through the cloud forest.
After four hours on the bus, we arrived at the beautiful Baldi Hot Springs, Spa, and Hotel. The hotel has 12 pools, all with thermal waters from the volcano. There were wet bars, as in swim up to the middle of a pool wet bars, along with saunas, and a mountain. The farther into the resort you went, you got closer and closer to the source of the thermal waters, so the pools got progressively hotter. It made up for every cold shower that I have taken while in Costa Rica. And then tonight, we went to eat at a steakhouse. Think of every cliche that you have ever associated with a steakhouse and you can picture this restaurant. The waiters were in full cowboy regalia; the only thing that was missing were the chaps and spurs. And there was 90s country music playing. It was a little bit bizarre.
Well it is off to bed because tomorrow is going to be a day full of traveling and seeing amazing sights.
