Pura Vida - Día Tres

On the third day, the adventures began. Just after lunch we were picked up at our villa by the Canopy tour crew. We drove about 20 minutes outside of Tamarindo, signed our lives away, and began to zip between the trees. I think there were eight lines on the tour which was not enough. It went by way too fast. At the highest point we were roughly 60-70 feet in the air. One of our guides took my camera and snapped one of the few shots you'll see of me in Costa Rica:

He also took a video of me going upside down on one of the lines..maybe I'll figure out a way to post that one day. The zip line tour was very fun and it is something that you must do when you go to Costa Rica.

The rest of the day was a normal vacation at the beach day. We didn't do anything until dinner. For dinner we ate at the Dragon Fly, which was probably one of the best restaurants we ate at during the week..so much so we almost went back. While we enjoyed our dinner, the sky fell..we had a great view (because, again, we were outside) of the thunderstorm and pouring, pouring rain. The rain helped to bring down the temperature a wee bit so we didn't mind. We were joined at this meal by an Alaskan Malamute/Siberian Husky (I can't tell the difference between the two, but I know I want one) which was also in the restaurant avoiding the rain. I wasn't shocked to see a dog in the restaurant because they were everywhere, but I was surprised to see a husky due to the ill-suited weather.
