Busy weekend

Over the weekend, Ken and I went up to the river twice! Yesterday, we headed with a bunch of teachers to the Jungle River Lodge where we spent a day of jumping off rocks and swimming in the Rio Cangrejal. It was a beautiful day and it was exhilarating to be able to jump off such high rocks and just let go! After we spent some time in the water we headed up to the lodge to have some drinks and enjoy the scenery. Ken fed a toucan some orange slices and we watched a HUGE storm come out of nowhere! It down-poured for awhile and it was beautiful to watch it while overlooking the river.

Later that night, we had dinner over at my boss's house (Martha and Phil) where we BBQ'd and just enjoyed the conversation. I got to try lobster for the first time as well as bbq'd carrots (surprisingly SUPER good!) After some glasses of wine and a few beers we headed in for the night before meeting up with them again this morning to head back into the mountains. We ended up at Villa Pico Bonito (http://villaspicobonito.blogspot.com/) where we had an awesome lunch. This place was absolutely gorgeous with some of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. It also had an infinity pool overlooking the Rio Cangrejal and multiple walking paths that led down to the river. We ate porkchops with baked potato and continued sharing stories about our summer this afternoon. What a relaxing way to spend our Sunday. Take a look at this view!

We both came back to our house with our belly's full and craving a nap...and that's just what we did. Now we are winding down our weekend and mentally preparing for our next week of school. We hope you all have had a great weekend too!
