Day Four

8/1/12

Today was the day to relax. After another delectable breakfast, we explored the resort area and its menagerie of rainforest animals. They have crocodiles, butterflies, turtles, ants, frogs, and fish! Then, we swam in the pools and hot springs. It was a very peaceful morning. After lunch at the hotel again, we set off for a trek of the town, La Fortuna. It wasn’t exactly what I expected. The main square was filled with shops for touristy souvenirs, overbooked travel agents, and desperate taxis at every corner. We got some good souvenirs and managed to get to and from the town by taxi with five people. When we got back, I conquered the humongous hill up to our room on my run again, and it had started to thunderstorm. We relaxed for a little while and then went to dinner. It was an overall relaxing day at the Los Lagos Resort. Tomorrow, we check out and head for the beach!
