Ayi Con Hotel Puntarenas

Traveling 470 nautical miles northwest of the Panama Canal, we arrive in Puntarenas port in the province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica. If ever there was a picture of Paradise, this is it.<br><br>I'll keep the history lesson short, but still some history for you...<br><br>Costa Rica (translated meaning Rich Coast) was named by Christopher Columbus when he discovered it in 1502. Local inhabitants were mainly farmers whose ...

... the way on another island! It was about a mile away. It was not as easy at is it looked. 6 of us swam our little hearts out!...Adriane, Katie, Leslie, Christin, Evan, Jeff and myself all got the best workout of our lives that day. It was pretty intense. It was a beautiful day at Tortuga Island and thank the Lord that we had our own little boat chartered for only 20$ each because most locals charter boats for tourists for 60-150$ easily. It was an epic weekend. Thank you God.

... Despues de inglesis (church) I changed and went to the beach (la playa) to study Spanish note cards and to lay out a bit. I then came back and ate lunch (almuerzo) and put on my suit to go to Patricks house that is located right beside USAC office to use his internet to chat with Maryashley and her father for 30 min. that night the rain storm was so bad. There was a ton of lightening and and heavy heavy rain that it was hard to sleep because it was so loud.

... var ikke særlig godt, det var overskyet men stadig meget varmt. Det blæste rigtig meget, så der var flere der blev en smule svimmel, og den fri bar gjorde det nok kun værre ;) Man skulle måske tro at det var "os unge" der ville benytte os mest af den fri bar, men det var det bestemt ikke! Der var 8 amerikanske kvinder ombord som var i Costa Rica for at fejre den enes 50 års fødselsdag, og de slog sig løs!! De dansede oppe på dækket, drak drinks.. og lidt flere ...

... ran into a bunch of dutch friends I'd met in my travels, it was fun catching up with them. I noticed this a lot in Costa Rica - running into travelers you'd met earlier. I think it's because there is no logical circut to travel CR, and every road leads to San Jose, so people are constantly bumping into one another in random tourist spots around the country. On my last day in Costa Rica I signed up for a rafting trip. I was picked ...

... most of the froggies are nocturnal. We saw lots of beautiful frogs, some very very tiny ones, and of course Costa Rica´s famous red-eyed tree frog. We interrupted several of the frog species while they were mating, I guess they didn´t mind too much. The 14th was our 1 month anniversary since the wedding, so we went out to a nice Italian dinner to celebrate. After that we headed to Moon Shiva, an Israeli-owned place with live local music. Ido satisfied his ...

Friday is sports day and we plan on beating the other class in a good old game of soccer. Well I am so happy to be back writing and am able to share pictures, give y'all something to look at. Everyday is a new adventure. Pura Vida

... Buddy and Marge had booked). Still, plants and insects don't mind the babble, and there was lots of the former and some excellent examples of the latter. Here's a view of what we're about to wander through: You can't tell it from the picture, but It Ain't Half Hot, Mum. Not to mention humid. Honestly, getting off an air conditioned coach into the rain forest was literally like walking into a sauna. One of the ...
