Costa Rica Adventure

Hello everybody. We've left Peru and are now in Costa Rica. To start our adventure, we were picked up by a guide named Mario from the Turtle Beach Lodge who showed us around some of the Costa Rican rain forest in Tortuguero National Park. At around 1 p.m., we got to Lodge, which stayed at for the next three nights. The first night, we went out on a night walk through the rain forest to look for red-eyed tree frogs. Not only did we get to see them, but we saw them mating, which Mario had only seen once before in his ten years of guiding.The next morning, we went on another walk through the jungle and saw some hard-to-find white tent bats. These bats chew on the edge of a palm leaf until the ends fall down and forms a tent. There were seven little white bats all huddled together under the leaf and each one was only about the size of a thumb.
