Somos Locos

... was not as interesting as Toucan Sam and his missile like tendencies. All in all a great morning, I enjoyed the ducky more than the rafting.<br><br> This afternoon I decided to skip the archaeological site, and get some real culture at the local soccer game. I arrived to a packed house as the pictures will show. It was Turrialba against the town over. Tensions rose towards the end. This barn burner ended with the other teams ...

Costa Rica Day 5

... for eco-adventurers!! This was my friend&#8217;s first time for these types of activities, and the scariest part for him he was the hanging bridge. Although, if it were up to him, he wanted to have been wearing full body padding....haha! After the fear fafctor course, we had leisurely hiked down for about 10 minutes, only to find ourselves back in the company&#8217;s backyard, literally! Yup, the Canyoning is structured around the company&#8217;s base quarters. Then we changed ...

Keeping Busy-As far from my home here as possible

... and there were two Jewish men reading the Torah and I was telling Alex that Chicago had many cultures and religions and he said the people in the picture had dark hair like me and asked if I was Jewish. I said yes and then Gloria just glared at me and didn't say anything. So.... I hope that won't cause problems because she is very Catholic...and I'm very not. Well... back to the fun for the night. We really had a lot of fun at the bar and walking back ...

White Knuckling the White Line

... of the city, on a dark and rather dank street. I saw a seemingly homeless person collecting stuff out of the garbage across the street. I already knew what Dave was thinking. It wasn't going to get any better when we walked inside either. We went inside "to check out the rooms". I knew that this was going to be an exercise in futility because where in the heck did D&amp;D think we were going to go? This was the 2nd nicest place in town &amp ...

... snorkel gear looking at suckers and fly larva for very long. Anyway my point is that fisheries management isn´t about managing fish, they take care of themselves it´s the people that worries me, they don´t always look out for the fishes best interests. After getting back last night from our 8 day pack trip I´m fairly confident that it was a new unique adventure in the Michael Stracco normal day ...

First impressions

... t imagine. The only problem that brings, is that nobody wants to leave you without a way-description, that´s why they always tell you to go to the left and right etc., when you ask them for the way, even if they don´t know it. So the first rule: always ask at least 3 people for the way!!! :D All right, now we´re gonna explore the supermarket with all the exotic fruits and then we´ll chill out in our new home. Tomorrow will be our first beach day- so let´s see how this´ll turn out to be!

Costa Rica

... come over but do not try to change their culture to match that of the Ticos. My padre said that it was just a very complicated situation.Essentially, the problems Costa Rica has with Nicaraguan immigrants are the same exact problems that the US has with Mexican immigrants. In fact, during orientation when we were talking about US stereotypes of Mexicans (lazy, drink all the time, uneducated, can't speak the language ...

Rafting i Rio Pacuare

... Vi var seks stykker i baaten, oss pluss Amelle, Anne-Mari fra Finland og Linda og Angie fra Tyskland. Turen ned Pacuare boed paa eksepsjonelt flott natur. Som aa vaere en del av et postkort. Selvsagt ingen bilder fra denne turen ned elva, men turopperatoeren tok bilder som vi etter planen skal plukke opp i San Jose foer vi drar til Ecuador.

Ants and the Mimosa

... br>Once the mimosa feels that the danger has passed it reverts quickly back to its natural form. <br><br>Today, while the rest of the group are off climbing up thirty-three hundred metres in the cold rain to look down into the hole of Turrialba Volcano, I'm resting in my cabin reading Carl Hiaasen's novel Tourist Season. I tried to persuade the group leader to do an urban hike through the back alleys of San Jose instead, but it wasn't to be.

Turtles, Monkeys and Children!

... centimeter cement pipes on the side of the road near the main building to keep the water from eroding the street. In that week, I must have sweat out my own weight a couple of times. This all sounds probably like too much work. But it wasn't at all. The work hours were usually only in the morning from 9 to 12, and ...
