L' Acqua Viva Nosara

Due to Romily's expert off road 4x4 navigation we arrived at the town of Playa Guiones. Initially we believed this town had been plagued by a deadly disease as there were no people and all restaurants/hostels appeared closed... we later found out this is normal for low season - not very helpful for us. After near starvation and a few temper tantrums from Lolly, who was particularly hungry, we came across a beacon of hope in the form of an expensive looking resort. <br><br ...

... and move in to pure love and acceptance. <br><br>Yes, Costa Rica is my home. I encourage all my family and friends to get their passports and come visit this beautiful beach town so you can see for yourself why I love it so much. We have plenty of room and welcome not only family and friends, but couchsurfers from all over the world. It is a bit of a trek getting here....flying into San Jose is easy...but then we are a 6 hour bus ride ...

... express the words. We are like frick and frack. Sisters. She is a writer and a pilot and has lived all over the world. I aspire to be more like her one day. I told her I am going to be her shadow for the next 10 weeks and soak up everything I can. I am like a sponge right now. Everyone in Nosara is so friendly. We have a sweet man, Diego, that is a friend of Kelly's and he has made it his job to take care ...

Wednesday -- Zip line tour  We took a tour with the Miss Sky zipline ticos. These cats definitely loved the ladies.... A zipline is essentially a metal cable (think finger width) strung between 2 concrete posts sunk into mountain peaks set about 1/2 a ...

... right direction. A few turtles were missing limbs but still managed to clamber up the beach breathing so hard that you could feel them on your legs as you passed by. Others were downright stupid; managing to get stuck between a couple of fallen logs on the beach...I helped nature along, and dragged them by the backs of their shells out to safety although their was no sense of ...

... who is also a painter so we will get together and paint one afternoon after classes. We took pictures but this computer does not have a usb port to download them................oh well..........later. I am very glad to be here. I am very aware that last year at this time it was snowing on the Oregon Coast and I could not get back to my Dad as quickly as I wanted. I think of him a lot. I am enjoying this trip for him as well. bye for now.

This is just to post my video for my two weeks in central america. it's 25 minutes long, and edited already. Music starts at around 2 minutes (not just ppl talking the whole time) and its a bit poor quality, because my computer is too slow to upload anything better :) i accidently cleared my memory card, so i dont have all the short videos to post seperatly. Let me know what you think! ksm

... Mark is on his own wave and Kay and Jessie are head up the beach in the other direction. Well I know I did it! I am so excited I head back out and keep catching waves and riding them for long periods. Long Boards are much easier to learn on and mine is about the biggest you can get. After a while I actually get out to real wave, not just whitewater, and catch them and ride the break into shore. Yes I am really surfing and loving it. This is so cool! After a couple of hours I ...

... a fast internet connection to upload all of these pics that I have taken. During the sunset, I fixed up the hole in the side of my board with a repair kit, should be all set to surf tomorrow. Rike took a bus to meet up with us for the couple of days that we would be there. After happy hour drinks, we went to a small seafood shack for dinner called Pedros, I got the seared tuna, really good. We hopped around to a few bars and called it a night.
