Today we got up to go hiking at the Monteverde Cloud Forest. In the cloud forest we didn't see any animals but it was okay because the cloud forest was so beautiful. I really liked it because it was so green and lush! The cloud forest is called a cloud forest because it's in a cloud. I thought that was so cool! Because it is in a cloud it gets a lot of precipitation so it's usually damp and rainy in a cloud forest. We were pretty lucky because it hardly rained at all on our hike. At the end of the hike we went and checked out the hummingbird garden nearby. Hummingbirds are so cool! After that we came back to our hotel for a little rest before going on another long night hike. I was super excited on the night hike because we saw two kinkajous (my favorite animal from the jaguar rescue center, Stanley). Also we saw a sloth that was so big. At first some people thought it was a bear, that's how big it was! We also saw a lot of sleeping birds, and bugs and snakes. For dinner that night we went to a restaurant called Sabor Tico. For dinner I had this really big Costa Rican dish with beans, rice, fish and salad. That's the traditional dish they usually make here called casado. When we got home after dinner we just went to bed.
