I awaken at 6:30 a.m. and feel as though I´ve slept in. Most of my roommates have left for the day. I hook up with Richie, and we head out to Las Cataratas, a pretty falls nearby. We spend an hour just soaking our feet among the fish, then head back to town.
I get my first taste of fresh palmitos--mmm! I think I´ll come back for the palm heart salad.
I check out the Down to Earth cafe, which was recommended to me by a passing traveller in San Jose. What is even more captivating are the Viennese pastries a couple doors from the hostel.
I join the afternoon volcano walk, which brings us up close and personal to Volcan Arenal. We spot wild turkeys and monkeys along the way. We watch the moon rise above the volcano.
