Rafting was a great time today. We had three guides...Ronald, Pablo and Luis. Luis was actually a kayaker who went ahead of our raft and made sure that it wasn´t too dangerous for us to pass. All the guys were great. Pablo was entertaining and constantly making jokes. I had the luxury of sitting in front of him, so I experienced splashes or helmet fulls of water rather often.
The river we were on was the Pacuare. It´s toward the Carribean side of CR. The weather was mild. Cloudy most of the time and sprinkled of and on. The view on both the 2.5 hour drive and along the river were awesome. Didn´t see too much wild life. Just a few birds. In the middle of the trip we stopped for lunch. The guides actually brought it along in this water proof barrel and then prepared it for us. Th place we stopped had these sleeping tents and a cabana type area for cooking and eating. We had to climb a good distance to get to the area, but the views from above were breath taking.
The rest of the trip was just a good as the beginning. Although, I was a bit more prunned at the end. I highly recommend rafting. It doesn´t have to be in Costa Rica, but it´s not a bad place to experience it.
Tomorrow I head of to Turrialba abd begin the stay with my host family. I am a little worried cause I don´t know ANY spanish, but I am also very much looking forward to it.

Hola Tamieka,
"de que aventura?" Not to worry about the language, you will learn many words and phrases during your stay. I bet you have already picked-up a few. And, you mean to say that you have not come across any holler monkeys in the rain forest?
