I would have never thought I would go kayaking in a beautiful ocean and into a river and back in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

It was so peaceful and relaxing.<\/p>\n

We saw a sloth with her baby in a tree, two sea turtles come up for a breath of air in the ocean, and even red macaws fly by over the trees.<\/p>\n

The scenery and animals is something you cannot appreciate unless you see it yourself in person. Pictures aren’t enough but they are good reminders of this great experience.<\/p>\n

It has been awesome so far. We will be going on a waterfall tour tomorrow and I’m so excited for that.<\/p>\n

\"20140511_165418<\/a>Can’t wait to see the rainforest side of Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

In the picture is someone’s dog in the community we are staying at. She’s such a sweetheart and so pretty. \u2661
