Day 14 - February 10, 2011

Today was our chance to take a Float Trip on the Penas Blancas River. The river was fairly shallow because this is the dry season.  We had to walk down steps and some slippery sandbags. There was one guide and two other passengers.  We saw so much lush vegetation and wildlife!



















We stopped at a farm where they live without many modern conveniences.  They shared coffee and natural snacks with us.  The most freaky thing happened - I ran into a friend from a Chicago metro organization I volunteer with - on the farm!



The wildlife on the float trip was abundant, tho they were moving and we were moving...

Iguana
We stopped by a restaurant which happens to have several iguana who eat their food garbage!
We left the area to return to San Jose and caught our last view of Arenal Volcano.

We also saw beautiful farmland and the fences that the farmers make with trees.  We arrived in San Jose for the last portion of our vacation.
