... a tree trunk bridge & going through the bamboo forest, but turned back just before the fright fork that would have got me to other swimming holes.

Finally back on route, found the falls but the river was so swollen after recent rains I was dubious about going into the main flow & getting washed down to the lower pool from which there was no way out except down. Went in at the smaller side falls which were more sedate.

After 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 ...

Just a quick blog to keep you up to date
Had to change plans as there was no space at Sirena Ranger Station. Margarita was able to organise alternative route into Corcovado
Got Marvi bus to Sierpe. Stayed in good cabinas and had excellent meal in their restaurant

... lacking clean clothing and unfortuantly to late in the day to get some laundry service before my bus ride leaving tomorrow at 10 30 am. So i found a decent hotel pulled out my few remaining unmatching clothes clean clothes i had left had a shower and hit out to explore the town. Town Towns pretty cool its not so full of gringos as its fairly remote and most people just blow through from san ...

We thought we might camp along the way but the mostly rainy day is a put off to stopping early to camp. Early afternoon finds us near the border so we decide to cross and camp in Costa Rica. Leaving Panama is a quick and easy process but we soon find ourselves caught up in red tape between borders unable to cross into Costa Rica. The computer is saying that the vehicle never left the country. Our passports are stamped out of Costa ...

... Italian restaurant for food and Pisco Sours and beer. Very festive and a great time for all 12 of us. This morning, about 6 people are going on a coffee tour and I'm with a group of 3 girls that is going horseback riding to the waterfalls. We leave in about 45 minutes so I'm going to wrap this up now. We leave to go back to San Carlos at about 4:00. Great stuff! Will write more later. With love to everyone, Ken

... been an amazing experience and I now know about 15 signing words. To boot, twice a week CCS teaches signing here at the house. People in the house seem unbelievably nice as I said and have been very helpful. My ability to converse with others here has been difficult with all the various accents and background that goes on. That has been frustrating but also has cemented my desire to get a cochlear implant sooner rather than later and probably before I would go to ...

... was so packed that we kept on bottoming out. If this wasn't enough, we drove over a piece of rubber the size of a crocodile. We went out to The Pub, which is Janice's friend Christopher's place. He's from Winnipeg originally. We ate supper and we sang karaoke and celebrated the fact that we were still alive from our drive home. Maybe celebrated too much. I met the local police -- charges are pending.

... That night we all hung out at the pool and had fun. Day three we went walking through the rainforest as well as swimming in the gorgeous beaches with perfect waves. That night we all hung out at the pool again. Day four we did nothing but play yatzee, play beach ball games in the pool, and have fun. However, we should note that after four months of roughing it, we decided to pamper ourselves with a local spa treatment. We had our bodies wrapped with aloe ...
