Day 3
→ Woke up early since we had to have class early since we were traveling to a geothermal plant visit.
→ Tico breakfast consisted of gallo pinto which is rice, red beans and fruit. The juice for the morning was watermelon.
→ The drive was about an hour an a half when we arrived to the hotel we had lunch waiting for us. I had fry fish, white rice, mixed vegetables and my juice was guanabana!
→ We had some time before leaving to the plant so I visited the hotels small granja which is a small size zoo.
→ Geothermal plant tour was well explained and we were given the opportunity to walk through the process and see how they run the plant.
→ Before dinner some of the group went swimming on the hot springs around the hotel while I took a nice cold shower in the room, very ironic we couldn't figure that one out? Dinner was fantastic grilled fish, cauliflower and green beans, mash potatoes and my juice was passion fruit!
→ Right after dinner I signed up a massage to relax, it has been the best one I've had the oil was coconut, the smell was so good. I was ready for the hot springs which added to my relaxation.
→ The last thing I did for the night was explore in the dark with my flashlight and it wasn't until I heard something move on the ground that I decided to call it a night.
This trip is getting better every day can't wait for tomorrow!
Pura Vida,
