Day 5 - Breakfast, horsebackriding, monkeys and waterfalls oh my!


The motley crew on the front yard of Villa Encantada

The guys saw monkeys in the trees on the side of a road

Waterfall fun after a hot day of horsebackriding
Our breakfast of rice and beans, eggs and plantains... at a roadside restaurant over a wood stove

Today was another for the memory book.  We ate breakfast at the restaurant with the stables.  They made us beans and rice, eggs from their chickens and fried plantains (everybody's new favorite).  Then the kids and moms headed on a 2.5 hour horse ride that took us up through the rainforest mountains - it was a thrill and the views from the top were breathtaking!  While we rode, the men went to LaFortuna for fresh pineapple and other guy stuff and they came across monkeys!  After feeling stinky and hot, we all hit the waterfalls that are on our Villa's property - it was really fun and refreshing!  Tonight we had a cook come to the house and make us dinner... you guessed it, rice and beans, plantains, chicken, salad and flan for dessert.  Since we hadn't eaten substantially since breakfast, everyone swore that this was the best meal yet...;)  Tomorrow brings an all new Costa Rican adventure, we are driving outside of Dominical... should take about 6 hours to get there... who knows what the sights will be this time... until then... PURA VIDA!
