... Schlange. Sie hebt den Kopf einen halben Met** in die Hoehe, als ob sie einen bess**en Blick auf uns w**fen moechte. Wir **starren bei dem Anblick denn wir finden, sie sieht v**dammt genau so aus wie eine d** 2 giftigsten Schlangen in Costa Rica: die F**-de-lance (T**ciopelo-Lanzenott**). Wir sitzen zum Glueck noch im Auto. Spaet** wird uns vesich**t, diese Art von Schlangen (eine Boa) tun Menschen eigentlich nichts. Eben, eigentlich. Wir haben uns**e Zeltplaene jedenfalls ...

... for Cecilie som havde fødselsdag, og gangen eft** en alm. Fest men hvor nogle havde fundet på at klæde sig ud som turist**! Det klarede de meget godt :) Ell**s går det stadig fint på skolen, men mange af dem jeg snakkede med i starten ** taget hjem. Eft** jul ** d** kommet ca. 40 nye stud**ende, så det ** vildt mange, og jeg har ikke snakket med så mange af dem endnu. Det skal nok komme, men det ** også fint for mig at være sammen med en mindre ...

... var såå søde! Efter frokost tog vi om eftermiddagen ned på stranden igen. Midt på stranden ender havet ud i en flod som man derfor skal krydse for at fortsætte længere ned ad stranden. Da det var en flod er der krokodiller i vandet. Vi sejlede derfor med en lille båd over på den anden sige. Mange surfere padler over på deres bræt, men vi skulle ikke nyde noget af at møde en lille kroko på vejen! På stranden var der næsten mennesketomt men bestemt ikke ...

... as im hurting..i did something to my thumb and its freaking killing me, had to do a little surgery on myself...will start taking a antibiotic tomorrow...since I will be partying tonight since its that last night..i can't believe I fly out tomorrow.

I am really going to miss them and this place...aww shucks..im getting all sentimental..lol Tonight is Graduation, we ...

... to is phermones. An a proverbial invisible agent of love. The beauty of being a bilingual traveler is you get better deals and more locals info and affection. So, on the ride in my taxi cab driver is asking me questions about my life and do the same in Spanish. Out f the blue, he tells me that his dream is to bed a gringa or european lady. I ask him why he hasn't had any luck, considering he picks them up by the boatload everyday and takes them ...

... buildings surrounding Tamarindo. Missing are the patrolling tourist police (though probably useful at our last destination.) Palm trees are the only border to the sand and local venders the only equivalent to tacky tourist shops. It took me one hour to extract money from the bank as the only ATM in town is broken. Things don´t run perfectly under an American driven hand here. I feel at home in ...

... humming birds and sparrows. Then we saw the brightly coloured emerald toucanet perched high in the tree. In a big bare tree we saw the pretty blue gray tanager, an orange tanager and the blue-black grackles which are related to crows I think. That was all in a small residential area. After that our luck waned as we saw much fewer birds at other spots. We did see a huge black guan, which is a type of bush turkey and the uncommon ...

... towards the intersection for the main road to Nosara. We got our next ride from some Ticos, which cemented in my mind once again that Ticos are amazing friendly people and, as you will see, were the main source of all our rides. Most Gringos sped up as they passed us! They dropped us off at the truck-stop at the intersection and we said our farewells and started down the long road to Nosar and eventually Ostional. Twilight was approaching and we had a bit of a worried ...

... it clear that they were mine, and he took them off and gave them back to me, then offered me a beer....strange, but at least I got my sandals back. We are heading out of here on Tuesday morning, but are still uncertain of where we are going. We would like to go south of here, we hear that there are several great beaches less crowded than here, but if we head that way people have told us that travel back north to the center of the country to Arenal ...

... There are bilingual toucans in the trees. And rasta bands playing at the picnic tables. This weekend I am venturing to Playa Hermosa. A great beach about two hours down the coast. A new teacher at the school, Lorea, from Oregon travels there every weekend. So I plan on accompanying her and she also happens to be a surfer so hopefully she will teach me some techniques in the waves. Loving life still, and can not wait for school to start so I can start teaching. Al fin!!
