Luckily, we had our coffee class the day before, where we learned that it is recommended to drink 4-5 cups of coffee a day for health and energy, so the problem was quickly solved.
Sam chose the iced and sugared version, which was amazing. Don't you love how they did the layers?

We needed our strength, because after our day hike, we were going for a night hike. This time we went with instructors, so we were sure to see many amazing animals, and perhaps even know what they were.
For some reason, most of the people on the tour were pretty psyched about seeing sloths. I am neutral on the sloth front. Our guide promised us that we would most certainly see them. In my version of what happened, we ended up running around in circles in the forest in the dark looking at tiny patches of brown about 60 or 70 feet up in the trees, which the guide assured us were sloths. We would be heading down one trail, and then someone would radio us from the other side of the forest saying that had spotted a sloth and we would run over the mountain to see the little brown patch.
More exciting to me were these creatures that I felt much more able to identify:
 |
| A highly dangerous viper! |
 |
| A blurry, long tailed, sleeping, something-or-other |
 |
| Walking Stick Bug |
 |
| The second largest tarantula in Costa Rica--she's only dangerous to her boyfriends. |
 |
| A male tarantula--a.k.a dinner |
We also saw an ant highway which was pretty great. You can see all these little pieces of leaves moving along the ground, walking back to the main city. In the end, we had a very healthy day. We got in our recommended amount of coffee and a LOT of walking. I slept well.
