Today we traveled down the rivers feeds into Lake Nicaragua. We saw an Emerald Basilisk (Jesus Christ lizard), Green Iguanas, long noised bats, Two toed sloth, snake bird, wood storks, howler monkeys, white faced monkeys, King Fishers (Green, Amazon, Pygmy, Ring), Herons, Egrets,
But the highlight of the day had to be when Kyle decided to swim with the Crocodiles and the machaca fish (relative of the piranha).
We traveled and explored deep into the Costa Rican jungles and local villages filling up a week with fun and adventures!

Two Toed Sloth
In the tree!
Plants
There are all sorts of plant life here. They have one plant for pain and it numbed dad's mouth and others plants for bug repellent and even a plant that has a milk like substance.
Costa Rica Photos
Today we visited the tropical rainforest and saw poison dart
frogs, 3 toed sloth and her baby, toucan, families of howler monkeys, Leaf ants,
surrounded by Long nose bats as we climbed up the trees to the top of the
rainforest canopy
A little light headed after a day in the rainforest, not use
to such a oxygen rich environment (20% oxygen)
Costa Rica fact – It has 1% of world land mass and produces
5% of the world’s oxygen (30 years ago it was 15%)
In the tree tops!!
