... the Moutain of Death.<br><br>The Moutain of Death is a mountain range on the InterAmerican Highway that got that name long before cars were around when people used to cross this moutain range by foot, horse, or donkey. Many people died back then and this moutain was almost the dealth of poor Wesley as well! We barely made it over the pass as Wesley was sputtering, blowing smoke, and wouldn´t go over 40 kms. We even pulled over and Devin replaced the fuel filter as ...

... and lunch. (not a bad deal) For lunch we had fresh fish, chicken, rice, fruit, vegetables, a salad, and (free) wine-very good lunch-lots of food! After lunch we swam around a bit and "played" with the (wild) pig that curled up under our table during lunch (its fur was almost porqupine-like but short quills). Meredith's birthday is Monday so we celebrated with some cocktails on the boat/on the island (p.s. their beer is kinda bad here).<br><br>Traffic was horrible on the way back ...

Just a quick blog to keep you up to date<br>Had to change plans as there was no space at Sirena Ranger Station. Margarita was able to organise alternative route into Corcovado<br>Got Marvi bus to Sierpe. Stayed in good cabinas and had excellent meal in their restaurant<br>

... felt like I slept for 2-3 hours. I felt very tired, especially my brain, because it was in constant thinking mode with all the Spanish speaking going on around me and me having to think and formulate sentences to respond back to them. I went to an internet café to try and get my computer ready for Carmincita to use it to chat with her family in Nicaragua but I ended up talking on skype instead. Then I went for a run along the beach which was extremely beautiful. I ...

... good They have no guest staying here currently so they have all been taking a break from doing as much yoga and mediation which is alight but kinda **** because I was hoping for a straight week of chris time yoga and meditation but its pretty fun either way. All but one person is great. One guys is just a bit strange and quiet. The actuall physical place and teh structure is just so freakin awesome. I have new design ideas for this ...

... bottom of the pole. They were still smouldering when we drove past. The "30" minute bus ride from the ice cream stop in to Puntarenas took two hours due to traffic. The highlight was a tree with two white faced monkeys climbing around, so we have seen all three common monkeys now. The howler is everywhere, we saw a few spider monkeys in Tortuguero and two white faced monkeys near Puntarenas. We finally arrived at the Doubletree ...

... på stranden i stedet for at være på skolen, og den danske dreng Kasper havde ikke været med til at lave præsentationen, så ja det var bare mig :) Det var en lille smule grænseoverskridende at holde et foredrag alene på spansk for ca. 30 personer, men det gik fint. Jeg fortalte lidt generelle fakta om Danmark og jeg kom også ind på hvad ytringsfrihed betyder for danskere, at det er en del af vores grundlov osv. Alle de studerende havde hørt om "muhammed krisen" s ...

... relax in my double bed bunk (Billy lost the coin toss this time and got the smaller top one, shame) and let the swooshing of the waves against the boat send me back to my slumber as breakfast wasn't til 7am. At 8am Eduardo began his briefing which seemed to go on and on forever with all the do's and don'ts, rules for the Undersea Hunter, rules of the National Park but most importantly and a very sobering instruction was to really take care of ourselves and each other ...

... our own private pool most days, such quiet hikes - heaven on earth really! In reality we've even been treated a bit like celebrities... some of the hotel staff found out we work(ed) at Microsoft and they automatically think we're personal friends with Gates. Quite funny really. The people here are wonderful - they actually remind me of Canadians in a lot of ways....friendly, polite and very warm. A point of interest is that they do not actually have an army - making them one of the ...
