Totally Worth It by pilgrims Amy and Jenny
Today after waking up in our swanky hotel, we walked to a restaurant and ate some desayuno. It was good, you could have either number one or number two, aka tropical fruits or beans. After that, we piled into the GB765, destination: THE FALLz! They were pretty much nearby, so it didn’t take too long. The pathway was extremely long and slippery. But it was TOTALLY worth it. The falls were epic, very tall, and the pool of water surrounding them was deep and beautiful much like Jason’s soul. A difference between the two was that the water was turbulent and cold. There were lots of Germans at the falls. It’s a good thing they were not in a shark danger area because most of the people attacked during shark week were German. Jason tried to convince us that if you swam at the bottom of the pool, the water fall would shoot you up in a new location. Nobody believed him. Instead of doing that, we all went body rafting down the rocky river which lead to the calmer pool. Body rafting is basically rafting without a raft, don’t worry mom, everybody is a-okay. Once we reached the calm pool, Erin decided to take a rest. She was perched on a rock when a giant spider crawled onto her foot. She got scared. She flicked the gargantuan arachnid on to Jenny’s foot. As Jenny, I was scared. We all swam about. There were some fish. Before we knew it, it was time to go. We hiked back up the path, which was difficult, but rewarding.
We were ready to leave, when UH OH!, Jason heard from Diego, that the GB765 was broken in the tire region. We would all have to walk down to the bus and push into town. Half the group walked much quicklier than the rest. The slow group secretly won the race though. Here is why: There was a man selling coconuts for our pleasure. He had chickens which we fed the coco-meat to. The coconut man had a machete and he used it open the coconut. It was totally delicious. When we were in for another surprise, a selfless man saw our problem from his home across the way. He helped Diego change the tire. They worked up a sweat that glistened in the Costa Rican sun. Everyone was impressed and heart warmed by his refusal of payment. We continued on to a little town where we partook in some nourishment.
We were inspired by the warmness of all the people. When headed back to get going to San Jose. The ride was fillesd with laughter, jokes, and happiness when all of the sudden traffic. This set us back about a half hour, so we played in the rain and with some bannana guy. We are now at the hotel called the hotel Aeropuerto or airport hotel.
