ASSI - Palo Verde River Tour was an afternoon excursion planned for my birthday. The Tempisque River is known as a bird sanctuary, with alligators, a multitude of iguanas, Howler monkeys, and White-throated capuchin (white faced) monkeys that were adorable. We spotted a Tinamidae, a Baltimore Oriole, and a few others that I am unable to identify at the moment. The half day trip river tour boat ride was shared with a friendly grandmother who was on vacation with her 14 year old granddaughter and husband Peggy, the grandmother was on her 8th trip to Costa Rica. She and her husband owns a condo near the beach in Playa Hermosa. There was also a family of four on the boat ride with us and all of us seem to enjoy the experience. It was a good start to my birthday.
Lunch was included in the tour. An authentic Costa Rican meal was served complete with beans and rice, mixed vegetables, a salad, beets
. corn conch, pita chips, and a papaya juice mix. Digi our tour guide purchased a birthday cake for me, which was a pleasant surprise, and I am most appreciative for the kind gesture. The cake was a fruit cake but very different from the fruit cakes in the states, it was eatable, with small chunks of fruit that was only in the top of the cake. The ice cream help to make it tast better.
