On Monday we decide to get our feet on the ground and hike to my favorite place in the Cahuita National Park. We started off a little later than planned even though we had a nice lunch at Cafe Chocolate (mother's favorite place to eat in Cahuita, with incredibly fresh homemade daily bread).
The goal was to find Matt and Alex some animals. Once walking into the park, Matt yelled "Monkey's!" Of course Alex and I thought he was just being a sarcastic butt munch, but turns out Steve Irwin had joined us on our hike that day. We saw both kinds before even starting our hike.
Matt has come to enjoy and rather respect wildlife on this trip. He has a new found love for ants, crabs and even lizards.
It took us a while to get to our destination, around two hours. We were having a good time looking at the scenery and walking. Alex did stub her toe on a rather large stump in the ground.... which was not funny although very comical her reaction. We got attacked by mosquitoes on the way through and literally had to almost run to not get bit. They attached themselves to us and wouldn't let go. It was a little scary and gross. I thought I was helping Matt by hitting two mosquitoes he had on his back.. which really just ended with blood on my hands. GROSS!!!
We reached the point and Alex did not want to leave the water, but we were happy to have reached our other destination a good 25 minutes later. It was like bathwater and allowed for casual swimming. The debris seemed to follow Matt everywhere which bothered him, but was rather entertaining for the rest of us. We weren’t able to spend as much time swimming and relaxing as we would of liked, but all in all they were happy to have gone.
That night we rested and than went to Coco Rico’s for dinner. It was a quiet dinner; we were all feeling kind of tired and were just relaxed. We than preceded to go to Coco’s for one drink afterwards. We were anticipating the next day and decided it best to call it an early night.
