Last night was a great night. They all slept until 8am which is very late for the cave. Although this is not your average hotel and geared more towards the student crowd we still offer this for our Costa Rica Family Vacations. They must have been tired after the hike. The night was with a great meal and Mrs Randell even suprised everyone with a bunch of glow stick necklaces and bracelets. This was the first time I had seen this and it was a great hit. THe kids loved it and we even had a jam session with the guitar. Polly is quite the guitar player from what we can tell and Jesse one of guides has some skills also so it made for a litte Cave Concert. Today the kids are taking a hike to another waterfall and then heading down the cave and driving to what I consider the best hotel on the trip. It is called El Trogon Lodge which is located at about 9,000ft. The only bad thing about this place is that it does not have a zipline adventure but thats OK. They will all be sitting by the fire this evening because it gets pretty chilly here. This is a lodge where people come from all over the world to see one of the most beautiful birds on the planet which is the Quetzal bird. It is a great stop for us to break up the drive from the cave and also a chance to try and get the kids fired up about a bird.
It is getting towards the end of the trip and I can tell you Ive laughed like crazy on this trip it is a great group of kids that Mrs Randell pulled together and everyone is getting along perfectly.
IS THAT MY KID?!!!!
