Wednesday morning continued

Walked through an orchid sanctuary to the hummingbird sanctuary, an area enclosed by tall bushes and filled with clusters of hummingbird feeders. You can hear the hummingbirds whiz by you. At first it's a little frightening, afraid of being hit by these emerald green bullets, but then I realized that they're probably smart enough not to fly into me.

Took a nice healthy hike to see three waterfalls, each taller than the next. When you see a majestic cascade surrounded by lush jungle, you really have to pinch yourself to make sure that you're still conscious and not dreaming. My descriptions can never do justice to what I saw in Costa Rica.

At the end of the hike, while waiting for others, Nancy spotted a line of bananas on a tree limb. She took a picture of it and proceeded to tell everyone that they were banana slugs. The picture really looked like a line of gigantic banana slugs resting on the tree. She fooled a few. :P
