Isla Tortuga - Reward Challenge Winners

---

We just got done with one of the great trips of all time! We left for Isla Tortuga at 615 in the morning on Sunday. We first stoped for breakfast in a Town called San Ramon where we had a typical Costa Rican breakfast of Gallo Pinto (rice and black beans) along with fruit, eggs, and juice. At San Ramon we saw a Tucan and also a Butterfly garden. San Ramon was about an hour from the cost. We arrived at Puntoarenas around 900 and left on a huge tamaran boat. The ride was about 1 and half hours and when we arrived at the island we swam and had a great lunch. It seemed like we just got done winning a reward chalenge on Survior because it was an isolated island with no hotels, vehicles, stores, nada! Only wild pigs, palm trees, white sand, blue water, a huge parrot, and a few happy gringos (us!). We spent the whole afternoon swimming in the warm water and trying to take it all in because it{s one of those places that seems straight from the movies. Which actually it was kind of because Jurrasic Park was filmed here. Really amazing, we will never forget it! Pictures can tell better than we can!

I'm jealous! I don't really know why because Colombia is a lot like that, but I think it's because I wish I could be there with YOU two...it's always more fun to see beautiful stuff when you have amigos contigo.
