Rain...in a rainforest.....who knew?


After 5 days of humidity and lots of walking we decided that today we needed a break and rented a scooter for the day. It was pretty fun since neither of us had ever drove one before, evident halfway through the day when Brian drove us into a ditch.... No harm though, it was already pretty banged up, and we walked away without a scratch to continue our day around the area. We went really far south today to a beach near the border of Costa Rica and Panama, It being a holiday weekend it was packed ! But when we got there it was perfect clear blue, calm waters. Then, the rain hit. It started pouring on us. So we packed up the scooter and headed back to town, By the time we got back we were soaked! We spent the rest of the day exploring Puerto Viejo, where at one point Jenn had a pack of 6 dogs trying to get her ice cream cone, (don't worry...none of them were successful.) Tomorrow we leave the beach for the volcano regions.
