... bought my next round of beers. I got a little freaked out and told him I was headed to go watch the Calypso band in the park. He shouted that he wanted to go as well. I soon found myself walking through the streets with the drunkest man I have ever seen. It was OK because he seemed to know everyone. He kept saying that this was his town and he was crazy, and an alcoholic. Later when I asked him his name all he would tell me was ...

... about Tracey. Then they all left me alone in the dining room and I ate by myself. The food wasn't that good; oh well. I ate until I was full and then I changed to go out. I met half of my friends near a bar near our houses - about a 5 minute walk - maybe a drop more. Then after about half hour or so, we left for the other bar we were supposed to be meeting the rest of the group. The walk wasn't too bad - about 15 minutes; and there were 7 of us ...

... rafting company could try to gain a few more of our colones (Costa Rican $). Finally we were on the return trip to our B&B to get our stuff and hit the road for San Jose. After some debate we decided to return the rental car upon our return to San Jose and then went to our hotel, which my cousin had reserved. It was pretty hard to get Doug to say goodbye to Carmen, I think he fell in love. I've always said he needs a ...

... the left..." As for moi, I was singing along to the tunes and wondering how much it would upset the two of them if I went to sleep. I didn't see the big deal and knew it would be OK. I dispensed a few words of wisdom to Doug by declaring that he should simply focus on the white line (or edge of the road when the white line was non-existent) to his right, which would assist him seeing the road in the event of oncoming cars with bright lights ...

... and use ecological tour guides native to the region of the attraction you visit. We only work with fellow tourism sector businesses who operate or sponsor responsible environmental programs. Personal Service There is nobody as qualified as our organization to show Costa Rica. We are dynamic and know the Costa Rica countryside better than anybody. We all grew up here and we ...

... to let us set up our tent under a small pavilion so that we wouldn´t be swimming in the a.m. A light dinner and a game of scrabble later and we were sleeping like babies a little after 9... The next morning it was still raining, but we entered the park with excitement. There were amazing ruins of an ancient civilization. The ruins were surrounded in rainforest lush and we were privileged to see a beautiful blue hummingbird flying around. We were VERY wet when ...

... because this is MUCH smaller than my group to Spain, which was like 40 students. We arrived in Monteverde around 6pm. I met my host family: the dad is 50 yrs old, the mom is 27, one daughter is 4, and the other daughter is 1 yr old. I thought it was strange that the dad was 50 and the mom 27, but I've been told that this is more common in Latin America than in the US. Either way, they are both very friendly and ...

While Ellen toils this week in Toronto I'm in Latin America, a guest of the Costa Rica Tourist Board. Three American journalists and I were invited to do a familiarization trip focusing on extreme sports. I could have written about what it's like to rappel down a seventeen metre waterfall, get tossed out of an inner tube in class IV rapids, or whitewater raft down the treacherous Pacuare River. Instead though, today's lesson will focus on ...

... Project. It was completely far away from civilization, as you might imagine. When we arrived there my first thought was: "Oh my god....noooo!" Now in retrospect, I think I would absolutely want to stay at that place for 1 or even 2 months. Domenica, Julian and German -- the project staff from MINAE (Ministry of ...
