While in Jaco we also took a day trip to a private island – Tortuga. It sounds like something straight out of a pirate story and it looked the part as well.
While there we snorkeled, road the banana boat, ate lunch, and hiked. There was a trail that went to the top of the island (nothing, and I mean NOTHING is flat in Costa Rica), and the whole time I was imagining myself searching for long lost buried treasure or fleeing incoming British sailors who wanted me head.
Skylar and Parker are both quite athletic, with Skylar passing me on the trail and Parker and I climbing at about the same pace. I’m not sure if they are phenomenal or if I’m just out of shape 😉
There was a wild boar that had learned to like people. We fed him coconut and he would eat from your hand and let you pet him. Later in the day, Susan saw him drinking rum punch and shortly thereafter he fell asleep under a shade tree with 3 college girls snuggling him. Life is good as a domestic boar on Tortuga!
