Arenal on a clear afternoon. Amazing. This was looking out the door of my hotel room. There was even an Observatory Point on the resort property. Jessie, Jessica, and I walked up to what we thought was the Observatory Point but were later told that that wasn't even two thirds of the way there. We were glad to find the shelter that we had found though take in the beauty of the Volcano because the hike up to it was pretty steep and unforgiving.
Los Lagos had three water slides! Two of the water slides went into cold water pools and the third went into one of the "hot springs". Los Lagos is not the home to the natural hot springs but the hot tubs they have are still pretty nice!
We took a walk through the butterfly farm, frog house, and ant farm before going to the pool on Saturday. The ant farm was home to thousands of leaf cutter ants..it was crazy to see! We also saw a crocodile which I was not expecting at the time and it scared the begeeebers out of me!
Self-timed pictures are the best! Jessica (wearing pink scarf) and Jessie are my Spanish classmates and are also in the Education class with me. They are pretty fabulous and tons of fun to hang out with!
When we first got to the hotel we were just relaxing, laying in our beds watching TV in English. Then we got a little antsy, but only had a little while before dinner. Jessie, Jessica, and I decided to have PROM! We took the decorative blankets from the end of our beds and fashioned our own dresses. Our theme=Tropical Asian Fusion. We even got crosages from the boys!
