Today we got pancakes especially made for us by the owners of the hotel, Anna and Heiner!!! They were so yummy! Afterwards we went to the Children's Eternal Rainforest to go hiking. Back in the 1980's, a group of children worked to raise money to save the endangered rainforest. That's why it's called the Children's Eternal Rainforest. I thought that was pretty cool and even wondered if I could raise money to buy and protect a piece of the rainforest too! The hike was really fun. I was so excited because I finally saw an agouti in the wild! Mom and I heard it first and then Dad and Tobin left but we stayed and waited and we both got to see it! After the walk, Francisco, our driver, met us at our hotel and drive us to our next stop El Verde Misterioso in Playas del Coco. We have rented a villa there and are staying for one month. On the way we stopped at a restaurant for lunch and saw toucans, a deer and around 20 monkeys. All the monkeys weren't even far, they were near us! Once we got to our hotel as soon as we got out of the car a lot of dogs came running up to us! It turns out the place we are staying at has around 5 cats, 4 kittens, 6 dogs and 4 puppies! The puppies are so cute and so tiny! The owner, Sandra, rescues street animals and finds them new homes. After playing with all the animals for a while we went up to our new home and went to bed.
