Costa Rica day 2: cloud forest

Evan and Kimberly milked the cows in the morning before breakfast. Evan took another bath while Paul and Kimberly took turns in the spa.

After lunch, we walked on the trail around the hotel property. Evan was excited to show Paul how to milk the cows too.

We went on a night hike with a guide before dinner. Evan really liked getting his own flashlight. We saw frogs, crickets, a snake, and some big moths.
