... m going to miss doing the salsa, cumbia and merenge beside Amanda and Stephanie in dance class since we always loved being in front of the class. Also in dance class, im going to miss drunken Matthew trying to move his hips while doing the salsa with me…hahaha J I’m going to miss going laughing with curly-haired Geoff in class, on bike rides and on our way to Bungee mania escapade. I’m going to miss every single one of the ...

... I was greeted soon by mi hermano y mi hermana. We got a taxi and 2 minutes later showed up a mi casa. Mi casa is right behind the restaurant that mi familia owns. My room is upstairs with my 19 year-old brother, there is a balcony separating us that looks out over the ocean. My room looks over the ocean as well and sits above the restaurant and the town since it is on the 2nd story. I was first going to take a shower but I decided to eat first. Mi ...

... we are glad we were able to do this. At first, we had some apprehension, but the tour was very safe. While moving from platform to platform, we saw an iguana. Watermelon was waiting for us back at the home bas and it was very much needed. We boarded the bus and went back to our ship. The weather was hot, but no rain. Tomorrow we will be in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua.

... of Montezuma is an experience. As we came in over the Gulf, we saw a dark brown strip amidst the space that used to be jungle...that would be our landing strip. Still, it was a great experience and Alex, one of our hosts for the 2 weeks, was waiting for us when we came in. Some pics of our flight over to Tambor: The flight from San Jose to Tambor was only 30 minutes and costs $75 ...

... i alle mulige retninger. Bølgerne var store, og vi blev kastet rundt :P Jeg hørte Mari sige til en af drengene "Jeg er virkelig bange, tænk på hvordan Tanja har det!" hehe.. Jeg tror aldrig jeg har sagt ordet "****" så mange gange før på 15 min. Som jeg gjorde der :P Jeg turde ikke give slip på mit surfboard, for når bølgerne var så kraftige ville en eller anden få det slynget i hovedet. Det skete dog også for en af de andre piger, men ikke pga. mig. Christine ...

... accompanied by numerous white tips and so many brightly coloured reef species as well as even a few Pacific lobsters. 28/11/08 - Another amazing day, actually amazing doesn't really cover it! The first dive was a welcome return to Dirty Rock the outside edge of it was where we dropped in and met up at about 15 meters to get comfortable on our respective boulders and find our grab holds. There were just so many thousands of fish, the schooling Jacks were so immense that ...

... in cute hostel where I was woken up every morning at 5 am to the sound of monkeys running across the roof. Normally I hate being up before the sun, but the monkeys were so cute, I actually didn't mind. In addition to monkey stalking and lying on the beach, I also did a bit of snorkeling and hiked to a waterfall. I met lots of really nice people (mostly Canadians) in Montezuma, so there was always someone to hang out with ...

... and eventually killing it (accidentally, they say). After the bridges, we continued to the canopy tour itself. What a rush! There are 14 zip lines, some of which are almost 2000 feet long (800 m). There are also some "Indiana Jones" bridges along the way, where you walk along a wooden bridge with wide gaps between the slats, but safely attached to the safety line, so it only feels scary. In the middle we got to the first surprise, the rappelling. It actually ...

... finished their Science exams, we all went out to the playground and played numerous games put on by the sixth graders and also had a mean soccer match against the other second grade class. We tied 0-0 My kids all dressed in yellow and were very well behaved, surprisingly. My family, Pat, Jim, and Wiley also came by the school to witness first hand what I do on a daily basis. They were throughly impressed by my class and the rest of the school, well? The ...

... head, and pull down on the cable to brake. Okay. I let everyone else go first. First of all, I'm scared of heights. And I hate rollercoasters. I expected to have my eyes closed the whole time, or pee my pants (I brought extra). I watched as the others glided across. It was well-designed in that we started with a short, low cable, for practice. (We gradually built up to higher, faster cables.) I told myself, I am Superman, I am Superman, this is ...
