Punta Leona

We packed up early. Sent our order in for breakfast. Walked down there and had hot food waiting for us. We finished, said good bye to our awesome room and hopped in the van. We had a long drive ahead of us. The driver was supposed to drop us off at the adventure park for our 1:00 appointment with 4 wheelers. There was a bit of miscommunication. He thought he was supposed to drop us off at our hotel. It worked out okay. The hotel stored our luggage and we got on the 4 wheelers just fine. Roy was our driver and apologized lots. We had such a great time on the 4 wheelers. We instantly got covered in mud. Normally I hate mud on me, but this was super fun. Jorja's chain broke off on the way back and she finished the tour behind the guide. That way she got to enjoy the scenery. We stopped at a place where we could see the ocean. It was beautiful. Turned out that was the closest we got to the ocean this trip. Oh well. Haha. I ended up buying the professional picture package. There were so many good pictures, especially of Jorja. Too bad all the pictures have their logo on it. Hahahaha, I still love them though.

We stopped at this waterfall area. There is a platform about two meters high by the waterfall. Tomorrow we will end our tour there. I had absolutely NO intention of jumping off the platform. Welp..... things didn't go as planned. At least the water wasn't brown when I had to jump. There was a lot of rain today and it made for a lot of mud. Perfect for our adventure today. Crazy how the water was clear the next day. Perfect for our adventure that day. Man this has been a fun trip!

Jorja wanted us to make the 'Aggie' sign. I think it is supposed to be a bull's horn?
Better view of the platform I did NOT want to jump off. Hey, it's higher than it looks!

We finished our tour covered in mud from head to toe. They had outside showers we could wash ourselves off in, and then inside showers with a little more privacy. We used both. I decided not to even attempt to change int o my other clothes and went back to the hotel as I was. (A little wet, but no mud.) I heard Jorja scream as she was leaving the bathroom. She found a tree frog on the bathroom wall! What??? She moved the tree frog outside and loved every second of it.
Perfect sign for the Porge.

We got back to the hotel and the shuttle took us to our room. It was quite a ways away. We all took showers and then decided to go on a hunt for dinner. We found an open restaurant at the bottom of a different hotel. Mike & Jorja shared steak and pizza. I had a hamburger and it was delicious. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the lady let us stay for awhile. It was raining hard outside. We watched some Japanese game show about toddlers doing errands by themselves. It was funny. We also watched a Seinfeld. Finally the rain let up enough for us to make it back to our room. Guess our beach day is out. Oh well, today was really fun. We have an early morning tomorrow so we just went to bed early. Like 8:00. Hahaha
