Wed, 1/26/11 – First thing in the morning Joel and Neil went on a hike with Johann and saw a tiny little frog called a blue jean frog because it has a red body but blue legs. Only about an inch long. Great views of the surrounding countryside and lush meadows nearby.

Each casita has a patio with a swing and chairs and hammock. All built for relaxation and while the guys are out hiking Shawne and Lizz were definitely relaxing. Shawne even used the swings a bit.

Many of the step stones around the pools had leaves pressed into the wet cement to make it look like a leafy fossil. Very cute.

Late in the afternoon Neil and Joel went on another hike with Johann to a nearby waterfall. Neither one took adequate precautions for walking through a meadow in the late afternoon so both were eaten alive by mosquitoes. Luckily no dengue fever this time but a lesson learned.

On the way they stopped to try some fresh coconut milk.

There is wild life all around us. Lots of hummingbirds. Sitting out on the patio at night Lizz spotted fire flies. Quite a few once we started looking for them. Lizz and Neil have been waking up to the howler monkeys every morning, Joel and Shawne have still not seen them but did hear them that night. Tomorrow we move to a Tica hotel near Arenal Volcano.
