Manuel Antonio National Park, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica, 6350, 506-777-1805
After 3 days in Samara, we had enough of the beach town and so decided to drive down to Manuel Antonio and bypass Jaco, which was tourist infested (well, not that Manuel Antonio wasnt). The drive which should have taken us 5 hours, took us 7 instead because we ended up missing our turn and not realizing for about 30 mins. Then we got held up at a bridge for 45 minutes where they were doing repairs and only had one way traffic.
We arrived when it was dark and after a little searching f...
Hello All! This is my first entry since arriving in the CR. The first few weeks have been crazy here, for I have been adjusting to a new lifestyle, and everything else in between. My experience thus far has been phenomenal. I am living in a community called Atenas, a small, rural farming town where everyone is family and or knows each other. My family, the Salas Rodriguez clan ( Ana Cecilia, Eduardo, Ana, Ismael) have many ties here in Atenas. We live 2 doors down from Ana Cecilia´s sister R...

Uvita, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica pamericas... 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.<br><br>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!
San Isidro de El General, Province of San Jose, Costa Rica cmedancing... feeling that something was nibbling at the line but I think I was just feeling the live bait wriggling around. We saw fish leaping out of the water but nothing wanted to be caught. Then all of a sudden everyone was shouting on the other side of the boat. By the time I had put my rod down it was all over. I had missed a huge Hump-backed Whale surfacing just metres from the boat – how disappointing. I hoped it might surface again ...

Sierpe, Puntarenas, Costa Rica robghs... know is that we would be riding through the river and the rainforst as close as possible to a waterfall. We dismount at a gate and walk a very short way to the waterfall where the Belgian couple also takes a refreshing dip. We pass on that and have a beer instead ;-) After about 30 min break we continue a different way back to the stalls and my sweet cowboy leads the way. I am pretty comfortable on the horse, except he's a bit lazy so I am one of the ...

Uvita, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica carrera2u... out to me that there was a snake there too. Okay, no problems, we called over one of the guys from the hotel who confidently caught the little fellow with the help of a swimming float placed gently across its neck. "Is it poisonous?" we asked. No, was the confident reply but we weren't so sure - it had the diamonds on its back like a viper, so we stood well back as the guy asked the security guard (who presumably had seen this a million times before) what he'd caught ...
Manuel Antonio National Park, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica sonandjim... were content to play about a arms length away and lots and lots of iguanas, they're about as common as mynah birds in Hawaii! We also got to surf this afternoon. Shane, as always, made friends with the locals and they gave us a free hour rental. The winds were straight off shore, so no mush to be found. We hope we have the same luck tomorrow... Anyway, we miss home, and we miss you guys, please write, we look forward to everyone's responses!!!! Ciao! Shane and Jaime
