2018 COSTA RICA DAY 21 In Bejagua 01-31

Wendy felt better today it looks like the tea worked.  We started the 2.5 kilometer hike to Cataractas Falls but only got a little more than half way since Wendy wasn’t feeling that good after all.  We headed back for dinner in Bejagua and then went on the “Frog Paradise” tour from 17:30 to  20:00.  Frog Paradise is an old farm which a son and his father converted to a nature preserve about fifteen years ago.  They planted native plants that supported innumerable insects, reptiles, birds, and mamals.  As the inhabitants grew and continue to grow they began giving night time 2.5  hour tours about ten years ago.  Wendy and I had a wonderful time with the dad who could not speak English but carried a book with all the critters in it to show us what he was pointing out in real life, in the dark of night. We saw all sorts of frogs, bugs, spiders, and sleeping birds.  Thank goodness we saw no snakes although we were looking for them.  We had a great time and by the time we got to bed at about 21:00 we were really tired having walked a lot today and Wendy still not feeling completely well. Tomorrow we head for the coast again but this time further south.
