The rest of the long weekend.

August 21, 2007 by Rick.

Sunday morning we left fairly early (9:30) after I ran out and picked up the rafting pics CD and got some drinks for the picnic. The drive out to RAINMAKER CANOPY TOURS was about 35-40 minutes, and quite bumpy for the last 15 minutes. The ride up the valley towards the rainforest and “mountain” was spectacular though. On sundays they are usually closed, but since Maricella´s daughter is living with the owner, we were tagging along on a private family tour and picnic.

The suspension bridges were amazing and the views absolutely breathtaking! Luke was a little cautious, but we went along the trails & paths as Mick (the owner with his greater family) guided us along pointing out animals and all kinds of interesting facts. The pics I took don´t really do it justice, but they are on the pic page now.

On the day before, (Saturday August 18, 2007) we went rafting. While I commented bbefore on what a blast we all had, I hadn´t seen the pictures yet. I´m uploading some now, and the photographer got some spectacular shots of our raft. We did all survive another day though.

A few more prices for those interested: (keep in mind that 50,000 Colones cost us $105 CAN to buy, while for US$40 we got about 21,350 Colones)

Prices.
