Because they’re said God cute, and there’s sweet, and innocent, and that’s that’s a thrill being a grandparent. I feel that way since Costa Rica has been one of the few countries in the world without a military expenditures that the nation formerly spent on armaments are now redirected towards education. This is one of the reasons why Costa Rica today boasts of the highest quality education system in the world they are.

So excited when people come in it was just amazing they grabbed you, and they want to hold your hands, and show you around the children are just delightful they’re just such happy children they’ve just seen this really full life, and happy to see us, and as much as we’re happy to see them yeah to me that that’s me.

How he spots them but he was able to come up with a lot of different animals that we hadn’t seen. So far by the way. This is the tree the gift those are not on hey guys, it’s our oranges we have seen before they’re very good for ceviche very good of fish very good lemonade you know. How to cut a kata which is the pumpkin.

I have in here in the scope what a beautiful bird one of the nicest things is that in Costa Rica there is little hunting, and usually animals are not afraid of human presence. So you can see in firsthand what they do in their natural world you can see animals feeding, and flying, and interacting, and doing things but we have very good chances the day trip we’re able to see over a hundred different species of birds plus many mammals reptiles amphibians people are really really pleased with the observation specially our hikes in the national parks, and the boat trips are particularly good although Manuel Antonio National Park is Costa Rica’s smallest park the diversity of wildlife in its three square miles is unequaled with species of mammal, and species of bird the brown-throated three-toed sloth is in resident as are three of Costa Rica’s for monkey species the mantel holder month Central American swirl monkey, and the white headed Capuchin the outside world is easily forgotten beneath the canopy that is until the distant sound of waves emerges out of the rainforest chorus the end of the trail reveals one of the parks white sandy beaches. I’ve never seen a beach.

So clear, and clean, it’s just a pleasure to be in the water here due to the stable climate warm waters, and subsequent lack of plankton the ocean waters are crystal-clear animals the ocean it was also very nice the beaches soft waves, and gentle currents provide the perfect environment to discover marine life, and coral reefs rocky Mosca adjust for extra safety retire your high necks in the car experience a constant okay just coming. This is concentrate they love. So we’re gonna feed it here.
