Leaving the Rainforest

Griffin Sumrock

Today we started our walk out of the rainforest and the day started off cool but it got really fast. I was excited about getting on with the rest of the trip but I was so sad to leave the rainforest. the people there were so nice and knew how to have a good time. they were some of the hardest working people I have ever seen and I want to strength my work ethic and be able to work as hard as they do. once I began the walk I realized that I had knocked my old broken toes out of place and I realized that having pain in your feet isn’t fun when hiking. it sucked walking with blisters and broken toes but it gave me a chance to walk by myself in between the middle of the pack and to take in the sights and sounds of the rainforest. the walk out was easier then the walk in I believe because as soon as I got past the first big hills it was cool because I knew where I was going and was able to focus on enjoying my trip and relax. later on that day we were able to go to the beach and i was so excited. I love going to the beach and being able to go to the beach in Costa Rica was incredible. I have never experienced like it and i stayed in as long as I could I went really deep into the water and enjoying riding the waves. it was a hard walk but in the end the time in the ocean was well worth it.

I love Costa Rica.
