Part Three—Dinner, More Waterfalls, & Down the Mountain

Part Three—Dinner and Down the Mountain

We had a great candle-light dinner, and hung around the campfire. I had fun taking existing light photos of everyone. After a bit, we turned in.

In the morning, we hiked up to another waterfall. Werner hiked with us most of the way, and then had to leave to head back to his regular job. It was cloudy that morning, and a little chilly. I still had to take the opportunity to jump into the swimming hole. And everyone swam, after some hesitation by some of us.

On the way back down, we stopped to get some oranges from a tree on the trail. They were very juicy, but not all that sweet. When we got back to the cave, we hung out for a while and cleaned up. Then we headed down the mountain.

It was, of course, a lot easier on the way down. It was actually easiest to run down, in many places. We made it down to the road in less than half the time it took us to get up.

When we got to the road, we started our walk up the dusty road. There we no trees for shade, so it was pretty hot. Fortunately, we were able to hitchhike after awhile. We took a taxi back to San Isidro, arriving in good time.

When we got back to the hotel in San Isidro, Kelly and I were pleasantly surprised to find our missing bags had arrived! We had thought that we would probably have to bus back into San Jose, which would have been a big pain.
