Day 8- Canopy Tour

The crew got up early today for a canopy tour. We had a nice bus ride (a.k.a costa rican massage) there and the guides explained a lot of history of the palm oil fields. After a long and bumpy bus ride we arrived at the location of the tour. They served us a nice breakfast of eggs and toast. After we ate we began the tour, which included a ton of zip lines, 2 repels, a tarzan swing and a suspension bridge. Once we all got comfortable on the zip lines we started going upside down. The guides were all crazy and joked about falling off and trying to scare people. After all the zip lines we got back and they walked around in the butterfly garden that they had there.

On the way home we did some sleeping and rag dolling on the bus ride back.  We ate lunch and then got the chance to help the Vander Beeks move into their new home.

 After that we got ready for our soccer game. We were a few men short and some locals were more than willing to play with us. We played pretty well even though we lost 4-0. The game was at 4 so we got back and had a nice taco dinner. Then we relaxed around the condos for the rest of the night.
