... the Moutain of Death.

The Moutain of Death is a mountain range on the InterAmerican Highway that got that name long before cars were around when people used to cross this moutain range by foot, horse, or donkey. Many people died back then and this moutain was almost the dealth of poor Wesley as well! We barely made it over the pass as Wesley was sputtering, blowing smoke, and wouldnīt go over 40 kms. We even pulled over and Devin replaced the fuel filter as ...

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

D** Nationalpark Manuel Antonio ist eines d** beliebtesten Ziele d** meisten Reisenden hi**, denn man kann dort auf sehr gut ausgebauten, kurzen Wegen viele Ti**e auf engem Raum sehen.

Es wird empfohlen, hi** einen kundigen Naturfuehr** anzuheu**n, d** die Ti**e viel bess** finden kann. Einen zu finden ist kein Problem, da ...

... is a pretty sweet lifestyle. This english guy has been here for 3 months and his philosophy is to sit in this hammock untill he has come up with an idea and then go do it. I was thinking that is an excelent way of life and might just have to adopt that. ha As far as doing yoga It has not even happened. haha I have done some meditations which have been great but its really to hot for yoga. Anyway I was going to stay a week here but I ...

... learning things about their culture, and learning together about Costa Rica. The local saying here is Pura Vida. Pure Life. I love it. It is so simple, so real. Last night we did go out to a bar (only the second time we have partied hard since I have been here) and it was so much fun. I danced...Kelly taught me some moves. In fact, there were 12 of us from Cascade Verde that went together...all of us dancing...all of us bonding ...

... been hearing them (wow, the howlers are loud in the early mornings) but I had yet to see one for myself. Here in Londres (just next to Quepos) it is much more jungle like and the monkeys are everywhere. We were at dinner with an open view of both the jungle and the beach and as the sun is setting, the monkeys started climbing the trees and playing. I was in awe. I took a ...

Since I didn't have a plan, I tagged along with Stephanie to Quepos, a place a local had told her was crawling with wildlife. Quepos itself was nothing special, although we did stumble across a really good casado (typical meal of meat, rice, beans, plantains, veggies, salad) as well as a pretty park overlooking cliffs on the ocean. The Manuel Antonio National Park is ...

... again and I got a good amount of bodysurfing in.  Very fun, though there were a few that wrecked me, wrenching my body in five different directions as sand and salt water were forced into every orifice--later that night i leaned over to pick something up off the ground and a stream of water gushed out my nose for a good 10 seconds.  Yesterday I packed/unpacked/packed again, and cooked dinner for grandpa and grandma.  My black bean soup turned out more like a spicy pepper and ...

... complaints anymore. Its the first place I donīt have to stuggle with my Spanish... wow for such a tourist country you really need to know Spanish to get by... Iīm doing ok and can actually somewhat have a converstaion in Spanish but every time I ask what something costs I have no ideas of numbers in spanish.. haha..

... preserve later in the day, but as soon as our tour ended the rain started to pour and our only option was to head back to the hotel, where we stayed for the rest of the day as the rain never stopped. The next day we took our final bus ride and after 9 hours we arrived in Manuel Antonio, the second most visited place in Costa Rica, mainly because it has a rain forest and great beaches all in one. As soon as we arrived at our hotel the people in the pool ...
