... times. We did drink, but got buzzed a bit cause we were told there would be food there, and there wasn't. Oh well, no one had to work on the farm much today, so we took the day to relax, went to lunch, then the waterfall, yoga, then dinner. Now, here it is....Saturday night and we are all just chillin', sitting in hammocks, visiting. There has been a lot of drum playing (bongos) throughout this trip. Tonight a local man, Victor played for ...

... to sell their fish. The saddest news of these days was the death of my travelling companion: my little half-size Mexiguitar, which has accompanied me since I was in Baja California, nearly a year ago. The guitar got wet whe na wave came oer the bow of our little boat and the wood warped out of shape. I gave it to the ten-year-old son of a fisherman and h was happy to have something to make noise with.

... would have thunk. :-) We rock hop upriver on foot from the dirt road for a few minutes and end up in a little tropical paradise. Not a bad way to wash the salt water off from the previous midday surf! The most fun however is taking in the lifestyle. As you could imagine, Ryder has plenty of stories to tell about the small town life of Uvita and the bigger costa rican culture. Hearing about who did what, this guy said that, these people are great because of this, this guy wants me to ...

... It is also possible to rent surf boards and that could be another thing I will do while I am here. I might as well have fun while I am figuring things out. I have never been to a hotel like this before. There is music playing all the time from all over the world, the owner is a musician and has great taste in music. He also has a fully equipt music room for jam sessions with guests. I am learning my way around the area with the ...

... had killed the power and they were running a generator indoors to power the boom box and flashing lights. So, not wishing to get either carbon monoxide poisoning or groped, I made a beeline out of there in the pouring rain back to the marina. The tanks filled up almost all the way with just a few hours rain. So that's good! But we had to leave at dawn the next day because we had already had our exit papers for like 4 days with ...

... another one-day stretch to Guatemala so I imagine that if I am able to update this blog that it will be another brief one. Thanks so much for reading and please keep sending me comments, messages, and e-mails. I'm going to be in San Diego in just over two weeks, which is very strange, but I am excited to see all of you very soon. Pura Vida, Eric Gardner egardner1@gmail.com p.s. Costa Rica gets Colorado news stations, I was watching 9 News in the tropics, it was a little weird.

... with the flag being taken down to the accompaniment of the national anthem...which all the children know by heart and have known since before kinder. The bus seats are now long gone, I have a bright new blue door, most of my window panes are in place, and my walls are now yellow instead of gray. It's amazing but my room is actually starting to look like a real classroom. Each of my students even has their very own desk and chair. Of course ...

... weather conditions were lacking a bit on the day that we visited the actual park i stole a birdsview picture of the coast, to give you a clue how beautiful it really is there !!!! the first day we just relaxed on the beach, enjoying the sun and the sand and the massive waves they had going that afternoon ! after a great seafood dinner and a couple pina-coladas i just did not feel up to going out and we just hung out in our superadorable hotel that btw seems to be very ...

... in Costa Rica unless you have your own vehicle to get off the beaten track and/or a lot more time than we did. We chose the less well-known park to hike in and had the park pretty much to ourselves. The cloud forest was wonderful and well worth the effort to get there. Mostly it consisted of green damp vegetation such as strangler figs, epiphytes, spongy moss, lichen and Tarzan-type vines just begging to be swung on. We hiked along the well-maintained ...
