Buenas Dias!

¡Hola familia! No puedo espérame más, ¡quiero que ustedes están aquí ahorita! It's been unseasonally rainy so far, fairly cool too. Remember to pack your light rain coat and a warm layer. We finally made it to our destination of Hotel Guachípelín about ten miles out of Libería in the Rincón de la Vieja National Park. Our car rental guy told us to take a route that isn't main highway, which isn't usually a problem, except when we leave at noon from the hotel, get turned around trying to find Aunt Jamie prospective house in San Ramon twice and then trying to navigate the smaller highways in the dark, we ended up staying at a small cabina in San Rafael. I got top bunk, dad got bottom bunk, and mom got the single, the room itself was about 10'x8' and had a little bathroom connected but it was clean and had no bugs so it was perfect.

Along the road we found some beautiful places, one of them was a hillside that because of the increased rain, had FOUR big waterfalls going down it that we drove right next to, b-e-a-utiful!


We also encountered many bridges, all one lane, but this one takes the cake at OMG, it was a suspension bridge that was the longest we went over by far.


Yesterday, dad and I went to the Río Negro Hot Springs, part of the hotel we're staying at. They had several pools, the hottest being 40 degrees C and several progressively cooler pools. We crossed a suspension bridge over a river and got to paint ourselves with "volcanic mud" and went in some more beautiful pools. Today we plan on going into Libería or finding cell signal here, mom needs to make a work call and dad and I are going to explore.

See you Saturday morning! ¡Hasta la mañana de Sabado!
