Last Day in the Rainforest

Hello!  It's Noah and Tony here doing the blog today.  We started off the day by packing all our stuff at  La Leona Lodge and bringing it down to breakfast at around 7 o'clock am.  We then had our last meal at La Leona, which consisted of eggs, fruit, and rice.  We then enjoyed the coast side view before we left for the hike back to base camp.  We saw many interesting things which included toucans, spiders, and we even ate termites for the first time.  After a long hike, we then stopped at the Beach before Base Camp.  There we got fresh coconuts from the people working there.  A few of us went down to the beach, taking in the water to try to cool off.  We then ate a lunch of sandwiches, Coke, juice, and crackers.  Then, our taxis arrived to take us to the Puerto Jimenez airport.  After a quick stop at base camp to pick up our luggage, we then began the 2 hour journey back the city.  This ride known as "Pepe's Last Stand", due to the numerous times we stopped to see cool and interesting animals which we had not seen before.  This included a black and white owl, sloths, a crocodile, and the last species of monkeys we have not seen, squirrel monkeys.  We then made a quick stop, in which we witnessed two wild iguanas fighting.
