Bahia Luminosa Beach Hotel Nicoya

... as I had no hotel arrangement and knew nothing about even where to look (plus my spanish really isnt good enough to deal with the situation without being completely ripped off), a guy in line started talking to me in English. Turns out his name was Marcus and he was in the peacecorp along with his three buddies. They had been in Nica for vacation and were now coming back to Costa Rica in order to finish up their last six months. Anyways, they completely saved me. Not only did ...

... it was so much fun being able to climb all around it.

After climbing back up the 40 meter ladder we began our hike back. On
the way we were luckily again and saw some howler monkeys, again with
babies. Our tour guides started ‘howling’ at them and the monkeys
began howling back! It was amazing! The baby just watched us as the
Matriarch bellowed at us in the most out-of-this-world voice. It’s
Barra Honda, Guanacaste, Costa Rica cmedancing

... blive afhængig af! Vi kørte til stranden sammen med de andre piger fra skolen. Super søde alle sammen. Vi dasede i solen (den er godt nok varm) og spiste frokost på stranden sammen med de andre. Kl. 15.00 var der afgang retur til skolen igen, og vi kom tilbage godt trætte. Kl. 17.00 skulle vi lige have en lille lur, vi aftalte med Tanja at hun skulle vække os igen kl. 19.00, men hun måtte opgive at få liv i os og vi sov derfor hele aftenen og natten ...

... few more pointers from some other surfers, plan on going back out this afternoon to get some practice in. A few people went snorkling...I thought about it but I am bit tired and sore...and want to go back and surf later, so I figured I would update and upload some photos from the rodeo, which it was so dark there are not a lot of good pics, but I should be getting a bunch from everyone at a later time, some pics from ...

You know when a town has tourist police you re in trouble. Tourist police should symbolize a red flag to every travellor: they equal a town built for the sole purpose of tourism, complete with souvenir shops selling identical mass-produced carvings and jewellry that isn t even indigenous to the county. Prices are inflated to match those of the primary travellors country (mostly North Americans) and try as you might ...

... project, as well as on rural days of service was very cool. The congregation is growing SO fast... they have a group in a rural area already started and have even sent several temporary special pioneers there. Between Hojancha itself and the rural group they currently have around 10 temporary specials assigned to the area. Chira Island First a little background information on the island. It is a fairly ...

... So we progressed throughout the entire day checking out crocs in the rivers and beholding the beautiful sub-tropical vistas of "the jewel of Central America". We arrived in the afternoon to San Jose that for some reason in my head I had imagined being a mix of beautiful colonial architecture, eurapeanesque tiny streets ect. What we discovered was an extremely dirty and over-expensive shithole of a city that the Ticos would burn to the ground if it were not the only ...

... a bottom and a top sheet only and they are stained and have holes. There are two twin beds that are almost as lumpy as the pillows. The walls are a dingy nicotine yellow and there are cracks in the walls and spiderwebs in the corners. We have no money left to speak of but luckily for us, the Chinese place takes VISA. We do however have enough change for ice cream. I get some trio of strawberry, lemon, and bubblegum.

... we hit the edge of town, they started pointing us into the junkyard by Pedro's Fish.  Which was, evidently, the bus station, and where there were no buses for us to catch.  And there would be no more buses for the rest of the day into San Jose. Not overly surprised by this development, we stopped at the nearest place that wasn't Pedro's for breakfast and decided to go souvenir shopping for awhile.  We moved our base of operations to the town's ...
