Caving
Today we went to Venedo Caverns today with Ecoterra https://ecoterracostarica.com/ this cave tour is neat but I will say that this is harder than the caves Emily and I went to in Belize last year. The caves here are not very cool temperature wise and was more strenuous to go though. For my size I …

Today we went whitewater rafting with Wave Rafting. https://www.waveexpeditions.com/ We did the Balsa river, they were class two and three, a little less intense of a rafting trip than the last trip Emily and I did in Costa Rica the last time we were here.

The Black Hawk Creek
One of the things we enjoy locally in the Cedar Valley is traveling down the Black Hawk Creek. Last Saturday Emily, my friend Kevin and I took our maiden voyage for the summer. The Black Hawk Creek runs through both Waterloo and Cedar Falls among other places, so it is easy to access. This is …
Couple of things
Since I’ve been home I have been talking with people about the trip and one thing came up yesterday about flights that everyone who’s traveling needs to keep an eye on. The airlines all have different rules for carryons. My friend back here is actually going to Belize in August and she is flying United, …
