Day 6 Rincón de la Vieja Volcano

Day 6  Rincón de la Vieja Volcano which means Corners of the Old Woman

 We started the day with breakfast, eggs, rice & beans, fresh fruit, homemade marmalade & toast. Our great drivers Eddie & Christian took us to the National Park Rincón de la Vieja. We hiked from the wet forest to the dry forest. 


We swam in a waterfall and in hot springs. The hot springs smelled like sulfur!



Pablo packed lunches for us. We were starving when we got back to the old cattle ranch house at the entrance to the National Park. 


Seth serenaded us.



Lex liked torturing Mrs. Girtain with her music but fell asleep.

We began our travels, with a delightful wake up, at 1:15 in the morning on July 26th. The transportation bus to the airport was very nice and we were generously supplied Mountain Dew at 2:00 in the morning (Thank you Bukky said Boo' key). We got to the airport and none other than Bukky forgot her green card:). Lolo sacrificed herself to stay with Bukky as she waited for her green card, which resulted in them getting to the ranch we are staying at 7 hours late. Lana and Wendy received a charming (creepy) gift from the man with a shower cap on the plane. In the hour layover we had in Houston, Garrett met up with us. Our group joined a smaller group from Austin, Texas who also had a deep passion for ants. They were very friendly and their one supervisor bravely wrestled an anaconda to the death. JK. Haha he won. We then began the last part of our expedition, which involved a 90 min car ride. 10 minutes in we stopped for lunch, which was a classic meat and rice. From the words of ...
