Our Last Adventure

Today we started the day off by going to see the Poas Volcano which is not a lava volcano but rather a gas volcano. It looks like a big pool of water but apparently you can rarely ever see it because of all the gases and the clouds covering it. Well as soon as we got there, the air cleared up and we were able to see almost the whole pool at one point. We had perfect timing because there was already a group there that had been waiting for two hours to see it and we just walked up and there it was. So we got really lucky which was nice because I never would have waited there that long in the cold rain. 

We also visited La Paz Waterfall Gardens and saw some really amazing stuff as well as had an awesome lunch. We got up close and personal with gorgeous birds like Macaws and Toucans. We gave some butterflies a ride and freaked when crazy fast humming birds zoomed by our heads. We played with some cute little monkeys and then saw snakes and frogs that everyone has been wanting to see (and I think I like the snakes better behind the glass). We also got a little wet next to some beautiful waterfalls. Today was a good day to see a lot of great stuff in one location. It was a nice ending trip to a fabulous time here in Costa Rica.
