The Costa Rican Times

Hi this is Anna:]. Today Emma has decided to sleep a bit so I will be writing a bit about the night tour of the rainforest.

We went on a night tour of the rainforest. Our guide was Wendy she was very nice. To get to the rainforest we had to cross a hanging bridge. The bridge was not one one of those wooden ones with a small bit of rope as the handle bars, this was a very nice one that looked like a mini version of the Golden Gate Bridge, except it was green. While we were walking on the bridge 2 raccoons running strait for us . They ran in front us us and had no clue we were there until they got really close then they tried to turn around really fast but just crashed in to each other. They were very cute.We also saw a lot of frogs, a few of them were very large. We saw two poisonous snakes, and a cockroach bigger than my camera. Since we were in the very back we didn’t get to see very much because we didn’t have very good flashlights. We  also saw 2 tarantulas. I have never seen a tarantula in the wild. When we were done we had to walk back on the bridge. The walk back seemed much shorter, and that is the story of the night walk.
