... get me a hotel room, they also made sure I got to my bus to Samara the next day. All around, extremely awesome guys.. and as it turns out, the peacecorp is useful for something.. even though all three might have argued a little differently.
My voyage to Samara was a little less eventful. It took me about 5hrs and was an extremely pretty winding road through the mountainous jungle and over gorgeous rivers. The only annoyance I can report was the couple making out in front of ...

... deep, throaty grunt that is really scary. It sounds like
something our of a thriller movie.

That night we stayed in the park. We were all very tired from our
adventure and we enjoyed just lazing around. After dark, Devin was
writing a blog while Bev and I were just relaxing. All of the sudden,
Bev said she saw something run down the road but Devin and I both
missed it. About 20 minutes later she spotted something ...

... camping in a field outside of the volcanos park where we could only hear the volcano. One peaceful morning a thunderous boom from the volcano caused me to throw my coffee into the air which according to Dom was far more fun to see than an old volcano.  We try to make the trip by memory but after a lengthy time of being totally rapt in the scenery we suddenly realize that we don't remember the road being this bad. One wrong turn landed us ...

... as children with our parents had instilled in us a love of travel and adventure that shaped us into who we are. Finally, we returned to our porch and star-gazed. The trees bandidos returned again and we let them wander around. That is, until one curious raccoon actually touched my toe with its nose. At that point, both Cat and I could hear our moms shrieking about rabies and other diseases, so we shooed them away, concluding our fourth night in Costa Rica.

... island located in the middle of the Gulf of Nicoya. Fishing is the main source of income for the 1,700 inhabitants. There were no publishers living on the island, but several special and temporary special pioneers have been assigned to preach the territory and start holding public meetings. They arrived about 2 months ago. And the result? Tons of interested ones are studying the Bible and attending ...

... Costa Rica. Tons of Gringos and Europeans have invaded the area. They are buying up the land and driving up the cost of living in the area. Many Costa Ricans are unable to afford the high prices of the hotels in the area and are thus unable to visit their own beaches. Guanacaste is beautiful, but I would advise anyone on a budget to travel to the beaches of Limon.

... we'd met. Soon, it was nicole's turn to depart and more hugs ensued. I continued onward to the border, curled up in my front seat with my ipod. Taking Tica Bus to border is brilliant, it is so much faster and easier than jumping out and doing it yourself. We pulled up and had a hour to kill while they took everyone's passports to an office. I went into the Duty Free shop and bought wine for $6 a bottle (fantastic wine too). Outside, i bought some dvd's ...

Hola I'm sitting at "Coconutz" a bar with free wireless internet and not-so-free-but-still-cheap cocktails. I arrived yesterday at Liberia Airport after about 10 hours of travelling which was a little skewed from the beginning. First, I accidentally stole Jay's keys so when he got home from dropping me off at the airport he had to turn right around again and come back for them. Then I bought a travel pillow which I somehow had managed to lose by my second flight ...

... center/cheap internet, and took turns watching the bags.  Five hours later, we were shopped out and ready to try the bus thing again.  I knew we couldn't actually make it to San Jose by this point, but proceeding east in any way was pretty much the new plan.  I was starting to worry about actually making it back to San Jose two days later to catch the plane.  We took the advice of the info center proprietor and stopped at a local soda across from Witch ...

Buenas dias todos During the two weeks that I haven't written, many things have happened and as foreseeable, life here is becoming my real life. I now realize that I am here for a year. I am learning to love these mountains because of the wonderful moments I am living here. Let me update you about the school first: good news came this week, an American Organization (NGO), Global Impact donated $5000 to the school and promised to give an other ...
