Day 6:
Manuel Antonio

We began our day with a sit-down breakfast. We were entertained by playful monkeys and chirping birds. After breakfast we had a 10 minute journey to Manuel Antonio National Park. We had a 30 minute hike and saw two and three toed sloths, along with iguanas, and birds. There were two beaches just separated by a path. The first beach had small waves and the water was warm. The second beach had larger waves in which we could body surf and the water was much warmer. While a few of us were bodysurfing we managed to lose two pairs of sunglasses and gain lots of sand in our bathing suits.

We spent about four hours at the beaches and then had lunch at El Gato Negro (The Black Cat). We had cascado with chicken, fish, or vegetarian. For dessert we had chocolate cake with Neapolitan ice cream. We traveled back to the hotel to have some free time and clean ourselves up. Some of us got to enjoy baby monkeys outside our balconies. We had dinner at Si Como No, where most of us had steak.  Now we are back at the hotel enjoying the pool and the sounds of the tropical rainforest.
