Day 7:

We woke up, packed up all of our stuff, and hit the road. We traveled to Liberia where we spent some time buying souvenirs and checking out the downtown area. Some of us sat in the park for a while, where we saw Costa Rican school kids hanging out. They eyed us (one girl was definitely checking Justin out), but mostly kept to themselves.

Afterwards, we went back in the vans and drove out to Ecoplaya, a beach resort. The rooms were pretty nice, but in all honesty, I slept better back at Horizontes. As soon as we got there, we ate lunch (I don’t know about the others, but I was starving).

Then, we explored the beach and saw first-hand a mangrove. The saddest part was that there was so much algae people weren’t allowed to swim. In the late evening, we were split up into a few groups to have a fire building contest. It was a real challenge! EVERYTHING was wet from rain and, since we were on the beach, the wind was blowing like crazy, but we still tried (without success).
