The day we were to go back to SanJose we hired a guide who we were told is like the animal whisperer. He owns a couple hundred acres and has blazed trails through it and helps people find all the animals they want to see. We didn't realize that you pretty much have to commit the whole day to him - so it didn't work out quite like we thought. He was very quirky and odd. But we did see some animals. He would stop us in the middle of the road driving to point out animals he saw while driving by. It was crazy.

| Toucan |

After our time with him we got some breakfast and parted ways. We were going to go to the Waterfall La Fortuna but were so sore and the hike is pretty steep. We went back to the hotel and got a late check-out so that we could take a nap before driving out. We were both so exhausted.
The drive during the day was much easier and shorter. We arrived at about 4 pm to San Jose to the Doubltree Hotel. It was very fancy and huge. Our room had a back door that opened up to the pool and hot tub. We were able to pay our exit taxes at the hotel.
The next morning we woke up and wanted to go and eat one last typical breakfast. However everything was closed. We found a newly built Wendy's and ate breakfast there. When we were leaving it was after 8 AM and finally everything was opening. It was a good trip and I would love to travel there again.
