Country Club Suerre Puerto Limon

... it! we just went and spent the afternoon around the Childrens eternal rainforest and then walked the 3km back to the village...! We went out for dinner... as it was our last night in Costa Rica, and even bought a beer and a can of rum and coke to celebrate... we went for a cheap dinner in a soda, and when the bill came, they had overcharged us for the soft drinks by 300colones per drink... which isnt loads, but is quite a lot - the waiter instantly said, oh,they are ...

... budgeted for (Mother take note of that previous statement, I could be calling for funding a little sooner than first expected!) but we all know life's too short, and it's only money.

After arriving back to San Jose myself and Marion (another volunteer) headed towards the hospital. The reason she had left early is that both her feet had blown up and were covered in open sores. Four hours and a beautiful big piece of Mocha cake later the doctors came back ...

... one hour. This is a church service for all those living in the Corales 3/Pacuare area. So far it hasn't been real successful, but that depends on how you measure success I suppose. We don't have many people coming into the church for the services, but one man said he stood outside because it is too hot inside the church. The service starts at 6pm, which is after the sun goes down, but still it is very hot inside even for just one hour. We visit people in the neighborhood twice ...

... about and spotting animals. The place is incredible. We saw a lizard run across the water in front of us, we saw 3 different types of monkeys, 3 otters, toucans, iguanas, boat billed herons and birds I don´t know the names of. But after 4 hours of paddling we had to stop.

We popped into the ranger station to pay our dues and were met with a very frosty reponse. The ticket man was not a happy bunny and he argued with me for a good few ...

... seated and wonder, where else it will take you! We finally arrived to Puerto Viejo, a small village right at the beach that looked like a combination of a fishers and a jamaican style town, colorful, music playing everywhere, little dusty streets and everything drenched into peacefulness. We went further out the centre and followed a small road, before we got stocked and amazed by the place, where we were going to stay! 'Rocking J´s' was its name and never before we had seen such ...

... komme ind i Costa Rica igen. Bussen var kørt i forvejen, så vi krydsede broen til fods og da vi skulle have vores visum stempel var det ikke muligt. De der arbejdede ved grænsen, krævede at vi skulle vise dem vores retur flybillet til vores eget land. Vi forklarede dem at Anna og Doro stadig venter på en billig billet, og at Mari og jeg har e-tickets dvs. vi får dem på mail og ikke tilsendt på papir. Det var de helt ligeglade med, og de krævede at Mari og jeg fik ...

... they are called intensive because I think they're really easy. -In the afternoon, some people and I went back to the rainforest to do the Sky Trek, which is zip lining over the rainforest. At first, I was very nervous because it was very windy. But it was lot of fun. Where we were is called the Cloud Forest because you're actually zip lining in the clouds. -After zip lining, I went on the internet to look up classes ...

... how wonderful it is to celebrate with these fantastic and loving people. If you feel you are called to share your time with us and others this holiday season, know we'd love to have you join us! Happy Holidays in advanced to all of you! Tropical Adventures Family. Volunteer in Costa Rica this Christmas - http://www.tropicaladventures.com/proje cts_xmas.php?p=xmas

This log won't have as much moving around as most, seeing new things and places. That is not our purpose. The new places and things we hope to share are the acceptance and impact that Jesus Christ has on lives. We already have a list of extended Ministry projects. As I mentioned in an earlier entry we will not be asking for support for ourselves. God has taken care of that. If anyone wants to be a part of our ministry projects 100% will go to that project. I will be posting ...

After breakfast we packed up to head for Playa del Coco. Rachel and I were in the parking lot waiting for Darren when one of the guides from our zip line trip walked by and the conversation went something like this: Guide: Buenos dias Me: Buenos dias. Como esta? Guide: Bien. e tu? Me: Bien. Gracias. Guide: Adios Me: Adios ...
