I had my 22nd<\/sup> birthday in Costa Rica! How awesome is that? \u00a0Today we went on our waterfall tour. It was an amazing experience. We walked about an hour and half \u00a0to the waterfall. The view to the waterfall was unbelievable. It was like walking through a jungle. Unfortunately we did see any monkeys., but we did see some beautiful butterflies. After walking for awhile we finally reached the waterfall it was gorgeous. The water temperature was about 73 degrees. The waterfall had different levels.<\/p>\n

The walk back took about 2 hours that was extremely difficult but I was proud of the group for pulling through till the end. We got back to the cabanas and went swimming. After swimming we took a trip to the local bakery. We got about just about everything they had to offer. The building was a little weary but the desserts were fabulous. \u00a0Not knowing I was having cake with dinner that night I ate way too much. The group that I went on the trip with was so kind to get me a cake. I had no clue all day. It was a wonderful feeling to know people had so much care for me. It made my birthday so special especially being away from home. \u00a0It was one of the best birthdays!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
