Day 3: Swamp, mud, insects, heat and lots of fun
Day 3: We spent most of the day doing field trips. In the morning we went on a canal tour. They took us around the swamp and we took pictures of the local animals. In the afternoon we did a jungle hike where they made it a point to explain the many ways in which we could die. In the evening we went back to Tortuguero town and partied like rock stars....
Day 2: Tortuguero national park
Day 2: We headed towards Tortuguero. Tortuguero is one of the world's nesting sites for sea turtles. We stayed at a lodge in the middle of the canals. The only way to get there was by boat.

First, no air conditioning here…we had only a ceiling fan on us and that was not enough. To add to the discomfort, in the middle of the night we heard what sounded like an atomic explosion on our roof, not once, but twice. Turns out it was a guava fruit falling on our aluminum roof…BANG! Well, so much for sleep.
