Our 2 day rafting trip turned into a 3 day trip.  The river was amazing, lots of class 3 rapids all the way down with a few 4s put in there.  In the jungle there is so much flora/fauna and diversity, it is really amazing.  Our guides, Manuel, Al and Carlos are great and I highly recommend Costa Rica Extreme.  They have a section of land on the side of the river with some great lodges and places to sleep.  There is no power and the quickest way out is via the river.  It is very picturesque indeed.

One thing we found out is that the river we rafted the day before we left (reventezon-pascua) will be dammed in the very near future.  Too bad because it is a great river and the reason is money.  Costa Rica has a surplus of power and to build another dam will just make more money for the country.  However, it is at the expense of the river.

Everyone from the original group is gone now so it is Ben, Josh and myself at this point.  Today we finished our river trip, Ashlee, Alisa and Chad went to the airpot and we hopped on a bus to Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean.  The waves were large today and we stopped to watch some surfers.  Tomorrow the destination is Panama and Bocas del Toro… somewhere on an island.  I would like to do more diving, we’ll see how the prices are.  Tonight we ate at a place with all you can eat sushi, more sushi than I’ve ever eaten even when we make it at home.  Rediculous.
