Funky Monkey Lodge Santa Teresa

... Hanging out on the beach was great. The sand is soft, the bugs are minimal, and the hot surfer bods are plentiful for the gawking. Of course, watching the surfers was a lot of fun as well and we always met people and ran into others that we knew from the hostel or from around town. We also had some fun times walking on the beach and hanging out with our hostel friends on the beach after 11 when the security guard of the hostel kicked ...

... be explained in #5) in town and has a long distance american girlfriend who grew up in delaware and her best friend grew up in haddonfield, nj. talk about a small world.<br> <br>5. food: pinto gallo is rice and beans, and it's everywhere. or more specifically: casada is everywhere. it is the local plate here. it's also called comida typica which translates into "typical food". it's rice, beans, some kind of salad, maybe fried plantains ...

... I'll pass on that one then.<br><br>Next week I'll be making my way to the Caribbean coast once again to meet up with a few others, a little town called Cahuita with a big rastafarian influence.  ooohhhh dreadlock rasta here I come!!!!!!!!!!<br><br>So now I'm off for another day, I here some 60 pence cans of Imperial calling my name...<br><br>"yeah hold on, I'm on my way, bring a friend I feel thirsty"........<br><br>Bye bye and peace out from chilled Montezuma xxx<br><br> <br>

... 4x4 vehicle. We knew that there wasn't going to be a lot to do, but didn't realize that things were as limited as they were. That doesn't diminsh Montezuma, in fact it enhances it. As I have mentioned before, this is not the place for people who can only stay at 4- and 5-star hotels. Even with the nicest property like AguaVista, you're still somewhat roughing it. Your ...

A nice little town, with a nice little beach backed by a nice forest. A few too many bracelet-makers for my liking though. The "hippys" are all after a quick buck here too. We did some fun stuff though. We hiked up to some waterfalls near the town and threw ourselves off them. The larger of the two was 10m, which is a long way if you're standing at the top. I lost manhood points bigtime on this waterfall: I stood ...

... could ever get so busy in a town this size but apparently it just gets worse in january and february. anyways ill see how it goes. my surf board is getting repaired right now. a few too many dings. its starting to take on water.... anyways getting stoked for christmas. its only a week away! so merry christmas to all those freezing in the snow!!!

... may well be to travel 100 miles up the coast tomorrow but you're just going to have to wait because all the taxis are being fixed... It's an unbelievably laid back place. From the airport I went to Jaco ("Haco") which is lovely but unfortunately seems to be going down the same road as Phuket, Thailand. Cheap, idyllic place with relaxed drugs and prostitution laws attracts large numbers of fat middle-aged white guys ...

Hola muchachos! I was so rushed the last entry that I forgot to relate in any details our adventures here in Costa Rica so I am indebted to give them to you now...... We find ourselves well settled upon our private beach paradise with less then a month and a half left - my lord how time flies!! Beach life has been a very welcome change of pace for all three of us (Lisa, Tom and I). We all have tons of time to concentrate on the things that we have been neglecting in ...

... when the guys got back, eventually, i was soo relaxed, but we had to leave, (the guys had to get back to work) so we packed up and started to make our way back to san jose, although along the way stopped at a beach to take one last swim and enjoy the sun just a little more. the beach that we stopped at was just a little ways, but soo beautiful. when we first got there there were soo many monkeys in the trees. it was the first time i had really ...

... packed. We watched a parade that was at least an hour long with every single cowboy in the county marching their horse through the town. We also went to the fair grounds and market place and enjoyed some beer and watched the locals dancing (I wish I could dance like them...sheesh). We got the last hotel room in town and commented that you could never have a huge party like this in North America...there would be fights or something. This town ...
