... a tree trunk bridge & going through the bamboo forest, but turned back just before the fright fork that would have got me to other swimming holes.

Finally back on route, found the falls but the river was so swollen after recent rains I was dubious about going into the main flow & getting washed down to the lower pool from which there was no way out except down. Went in at the smaller side falls which were more sedate.

San Isidro-- Driving the Moutain of Death

After dropping Bev off at the airport we headed straight out of town. Of course this took us a good hour due to traffic and the inability to get proper directions! The map I we had purchased at a hotel the day when we came into the country was supposedly up-to-date, but so far I had counted around 10 mistakes. The San Jose portion was no different. By the time we got out of the city it was around 3 PM so we only had a few hours of daylight left and we still had to go ...

Jaco- Busy Party Beach

... it seems we had all gotten used to the crazy music.  That is until the rooster started crowing right next to Bev’s head at 6 AM!  Poor Bev got up and tried to shoo the roaster out of the tree.  Looking back on it I can’t help but laugh, Bev waving her arms up at the rooster in the tree saying "Go away… you’re right next to my head!  Get out of here!  Why are you so loud?"  After we got up Bev was still talking about the damn rooster ...

... be. They were very easy to hold - particularly filled with the amazing 2 for one Mojitos at dusk. The bar was open down one whole side to the beach. We sat at the table - eating some snacks - laughing and drinking down the contents of those funny glasses. We staggered back to our hotel - changed and jumped in to the pool for a midnight swim. Everybody else toddled off to bed - I stayed up for a bit and went to the casino for ...

Costa Rica update and photos

... for a cab to take us back to the hostel. All in all a bit a waste of time really. But we ended up back on the beach in the end and that was good fun. Yesterday i moved to a beach around the corner from Jaco called Hermosa. Its got much better surf but even so there isn't much swell about at the moment and its not too amazing. I met a couple of guys this morning who heard that the end of the beach has a break that ALWAYS over head height, so after 45 ...

My second field trip

... and Environmental Impact, so there were a few more students. Twelve in total, I think. We left Veritas Saturday morning at 6:30. Good thing I'm used to getting up early here. Our first stop was an organic coffee farm in Alajuela, the next province over. I enjoyed visiting because it was a great example of agro-tourism. This farm does everything organically: no chemicals, no fermenting, sun drying instead of by machine, the ruse the pulp and water for mulch, etc. And ...

... Highway toward San José, to go a bit faster. San José, which we crossed from north to south very quickly, seemed to be a large modern city, like any Argentinean city, although there were not very many tall buildings. The traffic was quite and orderly and without greater problems. After crossing some mountains in the Pan-American Highway and arriving to the 3100 meters (about 10,000 feet) of altitude, we descend in a fast way to a valley and we decided to spend the night in a town ...

a Nicaraguan diary

... I learn that Fernando's finca in Matagalpa (north central mountains) is going to be sold to the government as a national reserve. One reason is that it is so high it get snow occasionally; frost all the time. Efrain needs to find helpers to assist him in clearing a trail around the perimeter. The finca is 100 hectares (270 acres). All hilly and rough country. I will be of no help here, so the plan will be for us to part our ways at that time. He'll go ...
