Rincon de la Vieja National Park

We decided to spend Sunday afternoon exploring God's beautiful creations at Rincon de la Vieja National Park.  We walked on a path for a couple of miles through wooded areas alive with the sounds of birds, monkeys, and insects. How fun to see spider monkeys, howler monkeys, and capuchin monkeys!  We also saw a keel-billed toucan, the beautiful one with a brightly colored beak!  This park also contained boiling hot mud springs, sulfur springs, steam vents, and a beautiful waterfall!

One thing I've enjoyed the most is not having a schedule.  We can stop and spend time climbing up vines just because we can!  No one is telling us to hurry, no appointments to make, no one waiting for us.  It's glorious.  The other tourists got a kick out of our adventure and stopped to take pictures.  People usually stare at us and occasionally make comments on how many children we have.  Apparently we are a sight to behold!

  

There is a price to pay to be in the mountains.  The bugs attacked Lincoln and this is what his back looked like the next day!  Yikes!
