The dolphins were jumping and playing all around us. It was amazing! Some of them swam right in front of our boat, literally inches away from our fingertips. I was impressed with how fast and agile they were, speeding right along with us. This vacation, probably our last overnight trip in Costa Rica, was truly a dream come true for me.
We were also able to spend a little time snorkeling--cool and in a beautiful location, but our favorite snorkeling spot is still Bocas del Toro, Panama.
After the snorkeling, we saw some more dolphins. This time they were bottle-nosed dolphins, just like Flipper. They were bigger than the other dolphins, and also very playful. Our boat guide was telling us how intelligent dolphins are, and that it takes intelligence to play. I like that idea. . . it takes intelligence to play.
After saying good-bye to the dolphins, we went up a mangrove-lined river and saw some big pink roseate spoonbills birds sitting high up in the trees. They have a pretty pink color, just like flamingos, because of their shrimp diet. It felt very quiet, almost eerie there, with the bird and jungle sounds seeming to echo all around.
Julia said that if Saturday was the only vacation we had in Costa Rica, the nine months would be worth it. It was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for us.
