Around 9:00a.m. this morning, we woke up to go on a hike with Jorge, the ranger/police man we met yesterday.  He was dressed in dark green with black combat boots and he carried a machete and an AK47.  It was so cool!  He didn't speak English, so I was the translator, which was fun.  We hiked up a steep, small mountain searching for monkeys.  We saw some parrots, but no monkeys.  

Later in the day we went to Granita de Oro, a small island with a white beach and perfect snorkeling conditions.  We had a picnic on beach, cut open some more coconuts, and then snorkeled (we saw some crazy fish-parrot fish, angel fish, one big purple one with white spots, a puffer fish and a sea turtle)
