Today we ate at seven and left the hotel around 7:45 headed to the Sarapiqui river. The bus ride took us two hours. When we arrived we changed, picked up a helmet, life jackets and rafting instructions. It was a great time and the rapids were big enough to make some of the groups scream, but not big enough to cause any emotional meltdowns. Everyone made it through the trip without falling out of the rafts, except for Claire, who was pulled out of the raft by another guide. The guides were playing jokes, splashing other boats, and entertaining the group the entire way down. We ate lunch next to the guide shack and headed back to San Jose. Most of the group dispersed and went shopping around town this afternoon. Tomorrow we head out of the hotel at 9:30, say goodbye to Diego and Costa Rica, and head back to Seattle for the evening.
