Golfito Sailfish Rancho

... which was probably lucky cause a proper look at the wave and I think I would have pulled back), I took off an an awsome wave, did more turns and got barreled more times then I bothered to count. Since it was basically dark I saw the flashes from cameras going off as soon as I took off but by the time the wave was done I was about 1km down the road from them and as stoked as I had ever been.<br>After such a great wave I really didnt want to give up my surfboard, but it ...

... us like a brick wall and the peccaries were at least 10 meters away, god it was awful! They eventually ran squeeling into the deeper part of the jungle after realising that we were there. The researcher said that Peccaries cant rise up on their hind legs so if they had stampeded us all we needed to do was climb to about knee height off the ground and we would be safe. Good to know. <br><br>We were making good time on the hike and eventually reached our major river crossing with ...

... do things properly. So this is what we did. In fact we actually managed to get a bit of a discount so it was only $150 each. After almost an hour of hassle at the bank (involving the ATM eating my card, me having to try and explain this in Spanish, then waiting for them to open up the machine and retrieve my card), we paid up and went back to the hotel full of excitement over what the next three days would hold.

... change is thanks to Gringos like Katie whose animals are like children. Oh good old Golfito. One could write an extensive book about this place! For the most part we have loved every minute of our time in Golfito. There is comedy material around every corner!!! The first thing that hits you about this place it it's beauty. It's stunning. The jungle rolls right down to the waters edge. If you have time, a boat trip ...

... Jesus Christ lizards that literally can run on top of water, the very odd looking tapir (cross between a horse, elephant and pig), fearless peccaries (wild pigs) that had the most grotesque unmistakable smell that has ever seared by sinuses, crocodiles, anteaters, coati and so much more. It was a pretty spectacular sight and besides the park entrance cost of ten dollars a day we did it SUPER cheap compared to the small groups of tourists coming in on boats and staying for only ...

... The highlight of it though is when they got me up in front of everybody and a thousand people all prayed for me. Wicked! Finally the next day we head to some waterfalls on some back country road. It was about an hours hike in and along the way I saw monkeys and lizards and things I don´t even know what to call. This place was so beautiful. It looked like what you ...

... to reach the Marquesas by 23 March so Mick can hop on a flight to the UK for his brother's wedding. We'll pick him up in Tahiti. *The remaining South Pacific itinerary is pasted below. Let me know if you're interested in meeting us. There is no better way to explore this area than by boat! Cheers ...

... for when we go home. who knows....anything is possible at this point!! but we have been having a really good time travelling together, and it is really really good to see him and have him to travel with....the guys don´t even holler at me anymore!!! (or at least not as much) anyways, we went to La Fortuna from San Jose. this is where the valcano Arenal is...the same one i went to on my first tour here. it has been fairly cloudy lately though so we ...

... for my PhD. The news waiting for me when I emerged from the jungle was that the NSF has decided to award me $12000 dollars through their Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant program. This is important to me not just because of the money (which is great) or the prestige (not so sure how much of that there is) but because it is some external confirmation that my research is interesting and important. Ok, on to the report. Too much has happened ...
