Discovery Costa Rica Trip

On the first day in Costa Rica we arrived really late due to our 2 hour delay. When we finally arrived in Costa Rica we went through customs and got our bags. We then went to our hotel; the Country Inn and Suite. The next day we went to Puerto Viejo on our way to our hotel, we went to the Veragua Rainforest Research Center. There we ate lunch, visited some exhibits on lizards, frogs and snakes. We also visited a waterfall, rode through a gondola, and finally we fed butterflies, collected their eggs, set them free, and hung their cocoons. On the third day we  had a long drive, when we finally reached our destination, we went in a motorized home-made canoe on the way to the Bribri Tribe some of us stood on Panama, and we had a lot of fun. When we reached the Bribri Tribe reservation we donated things to their schools, visited their high school, and finally made chocolate and had lunch. On our way back to our vans, we took the the motorized canoes,back to the town we were dropped back off at. On the fourth day (today) we had breakfast and rode bikes for about two miles to the beach. There we snorkeled along the reef and went kayaking in the ocean and in a river, now we are headed to our next hotel in Sarapiqui .
