Hotel Lucy Montezuma

... the waterfall that's just outside of town. It took us about 45 minutes to get to the trail head- 45 minutes of walking pretty much straight uphill. After we hit the trail, it was about another 20 minutes to the waterfall. It wasn't a difficult hike, per say, but it was challenging in the hot, hot sun...and I definitely lost about a gallon of water weight on the way up, but it was all worth it. The waterfalls were beautiful and COOL! The guys did ...

... figured it was a fuel issue. Now, a few days later, we relize the problem was not Wesley but bad fuel. White smoke, which we were blowing, is a sign of too much water in the fuel. Of course we had to get the bad Diesel right before going over the Moutain of Death! Luckily Wesley is running fine now.

That night we parked in the middle of a pineapple field own buy yours truly, Del Monte. I never thought we would be enjoying Del Monte for it's beautiful sunset's!

... and enjoying the vista.
Once the sunset I headed back to the hostel for the cheap **** casado meal - fish, rice, beans and cabbage, played cards with this yankee dude and two dutch chicks before heading off to bed pretty early. Also found out the national park would be closed tomorrow as its not open on Mondays! So might have to flake out on the beach or study some spanish instead and hit up the park Tuesday.

... i will build for my self someday. I've been here 4 days and I've gone to the beach twice and this awesome waterfall on the property. Hense the name Cascada Verde (green waterfall) There are tons of grandens all around this palce with tons of wacky stuff growing. Theres a pond with frogs and ive been helping to build this heart shapped inground pool. Walking around it was so cool to see this pineapple plant growing. I just thought it was ...

I am in Playa Uvita. At Cascade Verde (the name of the organic farm) Wow...this place is a dream. It is missing two things that I love though, wireless and fans....but, everything else about this place makes up for it! We are staying for free in the volunteer house (which is not as luxurious as the rest...but we get to use the amenities of the main house) We are closer to the beach here (only a 40 minute walk, rather than almost an hour bus ...

... of about 1400 m. We stayed the first night in a hotel called Roca Dura (yes, that is Hard Rock) then got up early to hike out. This first day was 15 km straight up to Base Crestones, where we would sleep before getting up at three to hike the last 5 km to the summit in time for sunrise. It was definitely tough going. The path was well marked, but it was very steep and muddy. We stopped for water and a rest approximately every two km, but it was still so ...
