... Amy ordered the best cosada so far.
It is a bit scary for the kids to be woken up at 6:20am to the cries of "VOLCANO !!!!" outside the bedroom window .. I was out on my run catching the great views of Arenal as the cloud finally decided to clear. Aengus and the kids got great photos.



We spent breakfast convincing our friends from Santa Cruz that the volcano did make an appearance for 40 minutes as they glumly looked ...

... on the observatory platform with a beer just looking around at the scenery. Within a few minutes there was a mighty thundering roar, we looked up to see smoke and molten rocks being belch out the top. This is great I thought its going to blow any minuet. We sat all afternoon drinking beer waiting for the big one when the whole ...

... was a little different. On the way back we stopped a replica Maleku village (indigenous). There are only 4 types of indigenous people left in Costa Rica and these are endangered because the numbers are small. In early evening we headed out to see Arenal Volcano. It has been shrouded by cloud since we arrived but today was the clearest of all. The best time to go to the volcano is nightfall when you are able to see lava flows. Unfortunately the clouds had ...

... goes down at 6pm. We start driving around the Arenal lake. It is huge and very peaceful, reminded us about Ireland, except for the volcano I suppose. Suddenly all the tarmac roads stopped. There were only stones, with loads of potholes, really windy roads. If you don't have a 4WD, there is no hope. Well, there is but the car rental company might not be happy about it. We were convinced we got it wrong but now and then there was a sign towards Monteverde, so we ...

... Springs (not Balti as I had told the Germans!) where we could swin in about 16 different springs of differing temperatures, the hottest one 67 degress, heated by the volcano. After two and a half hours there we nearly missed the bus back to the hostel but in heroic style Marcus wouldn't leave without us and returned us 'home' safely to the girls' relief. Still wet and trampy from the springs, we headed to the local pizza restaurant for a pizza every ...

Il vulcano di Arenal è nella top ten dei vulcani più attivi al mondo. Sebbene era sempre nuvoloso si intraveda un costante fumo attorno alla punta. Data la sua grande attività non è possibile avvicinarsi più di tanto, si può camminare fino alla zona dove ha avuto l'ultima eruzione nel 1992 ma non oltre perchè in continuazione "sputa" enormi sassi caldi che rotolando in giù lasciano una scia di fumo. La sera sempre a distanza andando dal lato giusto abbiamo visto alcuni spruzzi di ...

... an interview process that reviews my speaking and understanding of the language. forcing me to use the different tenses and both the indicative and subjunctive forms. The professor evaluated me at an Intermediate - High level but close to Advanced - Low however, I need some work on some of the tenses that I have never studied. I was happy with that. Since I am the only student in my level, I only get three hours of ...

It's elusive. It's prestegious. And according to Them, competetive. What am I referring to? The opening of one of three editorial positions for the PCCR volunteer newsletter, The Cadena. I thought, "Hey, maybe I have a shot at it," considering that I've gotten positive feedback from you all back home. Alas, it was not to be. If there's one thing living in CR has taught me, it's always set your expectations below par and you ...
