Costa Rica

Today we are in dock in the Costa Rican town of Puerto Limon. I have never been here but rather am usually in the central or Pacific side of the country. It appears to be another big shipping port town with a modern facility and guest amenities.

This afternoon I will be going on a Zip line rain forest canopy tour. This is the sport where you clip onto a steel cable that is suspended between either trees or towers and you “zip” down the line to the next station. When going between the towers you can reach speeds of 60 miles per hour. I have done this before when visiting CR (Costa Rica) in 2002 and it is a lot of fun.

My sister is going to go into town and shop. Mom is taking a train to a banana plantation.
