In the afternoon, we went on a hike. Since we went during the rainy season (which we didn’t know before we went), it rained most afternoons. So our hike through the rainforest was in the rain. We didn’t see as much wildlife as a result, but we managed to see a toucan and a poisonous snake (we didn’t get a good picture of the snake because it was too dark and we couldn’t use flash because he’d strike). We also heard some howler monkeys.
After the hike, we went to Tabacon Hot Springs and Resort to go in the hot springs and then have dinner. We arrived around sunset, so it was a little surreal walking around the grounds (they were somewhat lit, but pretty dark still). There were about 8 different pools fed by the hot springs, each a different temperature. There was lightening in the distance, but no one seemed to try to observe the rule of staying out of the water during a lightening storm, so we stayed in for a while but then got out and got ready for a buffet dinner.
