La Perla Negra Caribbean Beach Resort Puerto Viejo

... enough to give me a bit of a sunburn.
After spending the morning at the beach, I showered and went into town. The other people in my group went to eat at the same restaurant we ate at yesterday. I decided to try a different restaurant. I have been dying for pizza so I went to Ami Modo, an Italian restaurant that was highly recommended by one of our taxi drivers. I had a table on the beach and ...

... Puerto Viejo was great. We went back to Cafe Viejo and had an incredible meal and then headed off to the bar on the corner where there was live reggae. We listened to this guy who sounded just like Bob singing all of his best tracks. Then a few guest MC's and vocalist got on stage and sang along with him and a couple of them were quite good. We called it a night after a very good last impression of PV and geared up for our departure for Bocas the next morning.

... We enjoyed great Casados (typical CR food) in the parks picnic area and if we had so chose we could have camped as well. It was definitely a fun day with the crew. I spent the night at Christen's with Danna. Christen lives in Alto Veras, between the park and Turrialba. It was a tranquillo night of catching up, and it seemed that all of us had venting to do. It isn't until those times when you realize how much time alone you have here to think ...

... because this is MUCH smaller than my group to Spain, which was like 40 students. We arrived in Monteverde around 6pm. I met my host family: the dad is 50 yrs old, the mom is 27, one daughter is 4, and the other daughter is 1 yr old. I thought it was strange that the dad was 50 and the mom 27, but I've been told that this is more common in Latin America than in the US. Either way, they are both very friendly and ...

... way of seeing the things we are used to in our modern countries. We arrived on the coast at dark but drove along the beach and guessed the lines of palm trees thanks to the very bright moon reflecting on the waves. The road had a few holes but was nothing compared to what was in store for us for the rest of our trip. We could not drive fast anyway due to the numerous animals that were crossing the road. In France, they are deer and ...

... up with them around 12:30pm to continue along to San Jose, our last stop on the trip. Tonight is going to be the final group dinner, with the tour officially ending tomorrow. Some are continuing on to do the next leg of the series... Panama and then South America. A few, like me, are staying just one or two extra days to take advantage of some of the stuff San Jose has to offer (shouldn´t take long from what I´ve heard), and some are leaving right away.

... sixty days after the eggs are laid, but the season is long enough that, in one night, we were able to see eggs being laid and hatching. Well, we didn't actually see them hatch, but we did catch one baby turtle scuttling back to the sea. They usually go together; the first ones wait for the rest before they all climb out of the nest and journey en masse to the ocean, so this one must have been a straggler. It was tiny. The normal dimpling of the sand made for a ...
