... zip line. Nathanīs face also had a look of relief as well. Then, I got to thinking..I never even looked into the safety records of these zip lines. I had no idea if they were safe or not. Eh, too late to turn back now.

We arrived at the area of the zip lining around 9:15AM. We walked a little bit to the first platform. We got a brief safety instruction and then we were on our way. There were 7 zip lines in total. The 6th ...

... and we hoped for a big downpour but it faked us out big time. Finally the Capuchin Monkeys came and gave us a big show (me filming of course). After a quick dinner we got into the jaccuzzi and finally it started raining... we love the rainforest afternoon rains and enjoyed the rest of our evening before finally falling into bed..... what an exciting first whole day!

... Hopefully tonight we're off to a bar to catch the Costa Rica - Salvador world cup qualifier. My mate Danno back home is a soccer nut and has travelled to South America several times taking in various matches on the way, I figure I owe it to him to partake of this little adventure, he would be proud. Fingers cross for an easing in the tectonic activity for the next 2 weeks.

... blue iguanas, bizarre insects, and tons of sloths around, I didn't spot a single nonhuman primate. I did meet another bipedal primate, though, also wandering the park by himself. Jorge works in a restaurant somewhere else in the country (he told me where, but I've forgotten already) and has been to the park many times. He made fun of me for saying "mande?" the more polite term I learned for "what?" (I use it about fifteen times a day; my ...

... other tourists all happilly waiting. Did that stop our tour? Of course not! We waited for about half an hour, and when we saw that a local guide was taking all his group for a trek we continued ours. And it was well worth it! It continued raining all along, but we did spot 2 sloths (2 and 3 toed) climbing trees totally soaked. The rest of the animals were safely tucked away where ever they safely tuck themselves away during storms! Anyway, that ...

... for a beer so we walked back down to the bar on the beach to stop for an Imperial on ice. After finishing our beer we went looking for a place for lunch. We stopped at the Colonial, a place that sounded ok in the guide book but found the prices were really high and there wasn't much lunch selection. Got up from there and headed to the Posiedon Hotel restaurant, another of the guide's recommendations. Jaco doesn't seem to have a wealth of great eating places ...

... figured out yet the exchange rate precisely, but I think I'm eating lunch for something around $3/50/day. I've been eating the "casado" plates mostly -- a protein (chicken or fish for me), beans, rice, some vegetables, a fried plantain slice and a juice of some kind. After lunch I spend a) here at the Internet cafe, b) studying, and/or c) wandering around town learning what's where. Yesterday after lunch I went hiking to meet a campesino who works his own ...
