... that we got some subway at about 2pm and slept for 13 hours until around 3am when I awoke to a flaming bag of garbage in the gutter on the street corner outside our room. Interesting. I dozed for another hour or so and then got up to read the guidebook and Ben Elton's recent book 'Blind Faith' - I implore anyone who checks their facebook or myspace pages more than once a day to read this book, there's a chance it might change your outlook on such things, like it ...

... the food, which I tend to do when I travel as I like others to see how food is served in other countries. After dinner, we strolled along the beach side stands where locals sold their handmade crafts. I didn't see anything that impressed me, however the coconut shell tea light candle holders are very nicely carved. It began to rain, a light warm rain that was hardly noticeable, clearly as the locals didn't run for cover, it was business ...

... first! So much for being a geo... According to USGS it was 5.9 and Quepos was one of the town that bore the brunt of the effect. Not much damage though (not that you'd noticed - Quepos is a hole) and no reports of injury... though the guy near me on the ladder was looking a little shaky after the event! And, of course, I filled out the USGS survey to tell them what it was like. Anyway, I decided to leave early in the morning for the Caribbean coast and the town of Cahuita ...

... to me. It was impossible for me to sleep, so I read... a lot. At what must have been the halfway point, we got off our bus and switched to another bus where there were two more tourists. Now we were packed. I had the mom lay her little girl across all 3 of our laps so she could rest. We went higher and higher and finally at a cute little open-air Soda, we stopped for a rest break. I had my first meal of gallo pinto (rice and beans ...

... vocabulary question, but this time it turns out I had a legitimate reason for not knowing the answer. She asked me how to say "hesitate" in Spanish, and as we discovered when I described the concept to the students (and later confirmed with the teacher) there is no Spanish equivalent. "Pausa" is "pause," but that's really not the same. I'm tempted to read all sorts of cultural implications into that curious omission, but I'll try to refrain. I also tried my ...

... was made Blue Peter-styley! Our third and final stop was at a shayman who showed us more plants from the rainforest that are used for different remedies. After having arrived back from the trip we stopped for a photo with the organiser - who claimed to be Cahuita´s last ever cowboy - then headed for an afternoon on the beach where, inspired by earlier, I sculptured an amazing iguana in the sand (heartlessly destroyed by Rachael´s foot) and I ...

... we ended up buying all the crayfishes and lobsters for a total of 9000 colones (18 USD!!!). Dinner was superbly delicious....grilled seafood served with rice and garlic sauce on banana leaves....yummmmmy!

... car by leaving the key in the ignation. WAS NOT ME. Anyway, no in town had a slim jim. someone from town finally helped us. He has a gas station, i think his name was Tony (not sure). His gas station is right next to the beach. Looks more like a house. Left, finally, made it to Manual Antoni that night.

... so pretty. We walked for about 4km, but the weather started getting worse and we decided to head back. On the way back we saw Howler monkeys in a tree on the beach, they were so close to us and we got some great photos and we also saw some more Capuchin monkeys on the way back too. Oh and I saw my first hermit crab too. I love Costa Rica!!!! But then the rain set in and it continued until we left pretty much. We were ...
