Did I mention that our bungalow is up on stilts, and it sways even when we walk up the stairs, yes, even as I type.
Mangoes, coconuts, and papayas were shaken from the treetops, and the monkeys chased after them howling into the jungle!
Later, we visited the Arenal Volcano, which decided to explode lava chunks into the air above us.
Adam, who had just recently rented a surfboard, whipped out his board and surfed down the lava flow, pulling each of us to safety to the nearby river.
Ward looked ahead and saw the river was crocodile-infested, and grabbed a jungle vine to swing us all safely across it.
Many a native Costa Rican commented to Lisa and me on our ride down, "Your tan looks perfect, baby!"
The local newspaper took a picture and named us "Ticos of the Day!"
April Fool's! We don't visit the volcano until tomorrow! Today, we just visited a private uninhabited island, soaking up the sun. Quite uneventful, really. But we handled it fine. :)
