Calle El Cocal Jaco, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica, 2643-3067
This weekend was all about getting to the Beach with friends. Our new friends Liz and Jen opted to tour guide for us to Jaco. We all split on a car and headed down the highway to the winding roads to the coast. The views were amazing - the roads snaked through foothills and mountains all the way to the ocean. Around every corner were small towns that seemed to eek out an existence on a mix of agricultural (coffee) and small craft/tourist shops. I always try to buy local where-ever I am - home...
Jaco, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica izzie_tLeaving this morning was hard. Having stayed up entirely too late (working on the blog of course), I was exhausted when I woke up. Everyone else was as well. We all had to finish packing our bags and take them downstairs before breakfast. After breakfast, all the bags were packed on top of our bus. We all hoped and prayed that none of the bags would fall off during our trip to Jaco, especially Ms. Winslow's bag. All of our passports are in there!! Before we began the drive to Jaco, we went to...
Jaco, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica sjecostaricaWe finally had a day to just relax and do whatever we wanted to do. A lot of the team went to the Canopy tour. It was amazing!! I loved zooming really fast through the beautiful sights of the rain forest. The trees were amazing and so was the wildlife. There was a dragonfly bigger than my hand! After we finished the Canopy tour, we were all tired, hungry, sweaty, and sore. We rode back to the hotel and went our separate ways. Many people got in the pool or went to the beach. The sand was amaz...

Uvita, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica pamericasAfter dropping Bev off at the airport we headed straight out of town. Of course this took us a good hour due to traffic and the inability to get proper directions! The map I we had purchased at a hotel the day when we came into the country was supposedly up-to-date, but so far I had counted around 10 mistakes. The San Jose portion was no different. By the time we got out of the city it was around 3 PM so we only had a few hours of daylight left and we still had to go ...

Jaco, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica payne-wildeyHey Update. I'm currently in Uvita Costa Rica at a place called Cascada Verde. This place is pretty awesome in the jungle with a crazy view looking out to the ocean. The people are all so different, each one is so unique. There is this lady from Germany GashaNe who quit her Lawyer job and came here to volunteer and do yoga... she's like 50 and has this funny broken English. I find my self laughing not only at her but with her constantly ...
Uvita, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica carrera2u... chilly drops, and poi practice took on an even more aesthetic quality. The only bummer was the cold showers afterwards--there's nothing like a hot shower after a cool summer rain. All in all, I think Manuel Antonio is one of the prettiest places I've been. It's the quintessential tropical paradise: Sapphire water, lush rainforest, long crescents of empty beach, crashing waves, the echo of howler monkeys and cicadas, bright sun and warm rain ...
Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica jesshiggins... of buses filled with lots of boxes and sacks of commodities that people are bringing back home from the city. They are more like "chicken buses", without the chickens, instead of scenic cruisers. I hope for the best. Our 5:15 out of Managua to Condega is not yet at the gate, so Efrain and I go for some food. Except for the empanadas in the morning and some peanut ************ers I brought, we have not eaten all day. I ask Efrain if the bus to Condega is a big ...
