Tortuguero, Day Two

For our second day in beautiful Tortuguero, we went for a morning boat tour on the numerous rivers that meandered through the region. We saw tons of animals, including a caiman (think alligator) that came right up to our boat. After lunch we visited the town of Tortuguero, which was really cool. It was kinda poor-looking, but still had a certain charm to it and lots of friendly people. We got back on a boat and saw a sloth, our first howler monkeys, and more! Then we went to a happy hour at a local bar. Pretty sweeeet. A night swim and more bonding ended our last night in Tortuguero. I would recommend anyone interested in the tropics but not willing to get "too close" to nature to travel to Tortuguero!

In case you were wondering how we were able to survive without Internet and TV and Facebook--here's how. We talked! What could we have possibly talked about? We shared stories. We told jokes. But we also exchanged music. I learned of so many great musicians and grew to appreciate so many more genres. If you're interested in music: check out this blog for some new stuff!
