Driving on the beach...

...and driving through the Rio Bongo!

Today we were heading back to Nosara and La Casa Que Canta. But first we went on this scary hike in Montezuma. You had to climb over these big slippery rocks and go across a river! There was so many times where I almost fell on the rocks!!! When you finally got to the end of the rocks (which took around 20 minutes) there was a long waterfall. We all went swimming in it, but it was freezing cold. Also there were these crazy people who were climbing up the waterfall and jumping off rocks near the top of it! They could have died! After that we drove home. This time we took a different route along the beach. Nobody we asked about it could give us a straight answer about how to do it and Google maps didn't even have it. It had a million rives we had to drive through!!! One was called the Rio Bongo and it was a river that was so deep it came up to the car's window!!!! We also had to drive right on the beach for some of it. On the way home we also stopped at this resort, Florblanca in Santa Teresa, to get some food and they had the best dessert ever! It was chocolate cookies that had come right out of the oven with vanilla ice cream in the middle!!! When we finally did arrive home it was late and altogether our drive was around 5 hours, so only an hour more than the other way, but we did get a little lost. For dinner that night we had rice and beans and after we went to bed.
