Perfect night in the Cave



It turned out to be the perfect night in the cave. Also just so everyone knows because it is hard to get all the rappels on video but everyone did it. We will get a shot of some more action clips posted today. After the rappel we enjoy little hike to Costa Rica's tallest waterfall which is called Diamante and there we just chilled and watched the sun set on the Pacific from about a 1500ft above sea-level and half of that being the the waterfall we were sitting at the top of.

When we got back everyone got their sleeping clothes on and then it was food and music till around 10pm which would explain the faces in the morning that will be in the next post. We had pasta and the best part was the "real chocolate" desert from the cacao plant mixed with banana which was destroyed by chocolate craving teenagers in seconds. We light the cave up with candles and it was a full moon last night and just a perfect setting. Between Max jamming on the guitar and Jesse another guide plays the guitar and started Alelujua and Juliana and Ali started singing and everyone was singing till 10.

Now we are getting ready for breakfast and we will take another 45 minute hike and celebrate Stone's birthday. The hike will take us to a 20ft waterfall with a swim-hole that makes for the perfect area for a little jump off the waterfall. So yesterday with was rappeling and today we leave the ropes here in the cave and just JUMP!

Hope all is well in CT and thanks for following. I will try and find some pictures of the pranks from last night. I heard some heavy laughing around 10:15 which makes me think there might have been some shaving cream on a face or something of such.

Here are some quotes:

Ali, Addy, & Emily - "I thought you smacking a bug" "It's shaped like a fish!" "I have threeee! boarding passes now"

I am clueless to what the quote above means but these 13 year olds start with a language and I just lose them. I am sure some of you can relate.
