Last week we went to a beach called Playa Ostional and we saw the mother turtles laying thier eggs in the sand. It was really amazing. We could actually see the eggs coming down. The day after that we went on a boat trip and we saw a bunch of turtles swimming. I went snorkeling and got to hold one. We also went on a zipline last week. It went all across the mountains and valleys. There were 13 lines in total. It was soooo fun! I've learned how to catch big green waves while surfing. I am okay, but when I paddle out, I have to do turtlle rolls and I really suck at those things. Yesterday we saw an armadillo from our porch and a woodpecker. The day before, we saw a kinkaju, which is a llittle tan animal that has a really cute face and a long tail. We also saw a possum. It was really scruffy. The other day, on the way to school, we saw a fox. It was reddish-tan and was pretty small. Last weekend, we went to a place in a different part of Costa Rica Called Monteverde in the mountains where there is a small touristy town and a bunch of hotels. We went on some really nice hikes. But I think we see more wildlllife from our porch than in Monteverde. We had guests that just left 30 minutes ago. They are friends from New York.
