When I was in Costa Rica, some friends and I went to hike Arenal National Park. We got lost on the trails and, as night fell, we couldn’t find our way out. We had no food, water, or even a flashlight. After hours and hours of searching, we found a road. Following the road we connected with the main road and waited. Someone came by and picked us up. On the way, we saw the volcano and it’s nightly fireworks. It was a scary experience but one of my favorite.
