Today we left San Jose and traveled to the Arenal Volcano. On the way we stopped at the Sarapiqui River for a rafting excursion. The river runs through rain forest and we expected to see "Jurassic Park" dinosaurs tromping down to the river to take a drink as we paddled by. The river was warm with just enough rapids to make the trip exciting. A few of us took "unplanned swims" during the trip, but we a had a great time. Then we traveled on through the countryside toward Arenal. We drove through agricultural land and rain forest, arriving at the Arenal Moana Hotel in the late afternoon. Our resort has two pools, bungalow type rooms, an open air restaurant and views of the volcano from every room. We're living the high-life now!

All ready for rafting!

Every raft had six people and one guide.
Paddling is hard work!
Outfitted and ready to go.
We followed a truck load of bananas on the way to Arenal.
