... 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

... 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 ...

I am in Playa Uvita. At Cascade Verde (the name of the organic farm) Wow...this place is a dream. It is missing two things that I love though, wireless and fans....but, everything else about this place makes up for it! We are staying for free in the volunteer house (which is not as luxurious as the rest...but we get to use the amenities of the main house) We are closer to the beach here (only a 40 minute walk, rather than almost an hour bus ...

... had been robbed.... while 4 people were a sleep in it! Turns out the robbers came in and actually carried out the whole stack of safes in the corner which had a few people most valuable things in it. Quite shocking really. This one poor chap sliced open his foot the other day so he cant surf for his last week and now lost all his cards and passport etc. Evil! Well im going to head off now, last days so i've got to make the most of it all! Bye for now Karl

... area at the very back of the gardens is amazing, all these paths through the thick green-ness, with epiphytes and orchids and these cool red bulby things that Phil named syrup sticks. Obviously, if you take the time to read the placards with the plant names, it'll take a little longer to see everything, since there are so many plants with names. There are also a healthy representation of tropical bugs, all of which bit me ...

Thursday January 19th, 2006 Our holiday is quickly approaching the end. Itīs been amazing pretty much for the whole time. I highly recommend a trip to Nicaragua and Costa Rica for anyone. We were a little sidelined on Monday when we checked our emails in a little place called Nicoya bound for the southern tip of the Nicoya Penninsula. We found out that a dear friend of ours from Squamish, Aidan Oloman, was killed in an avalanche on Saturday near Fernie ...

... our own private pool most days, such quiet hikes - heaven on earth really! In reality we've even been treated a bit like celebrities... some of the hotel staff found out we work(ed) at Microsoft and they automatically think we're personal friends with Gates. Quite funny really. The people here are wonderful - they actually remind me of Canadians in a lot of ways....friendly, polite and very warm. A point of interest is that they do not actually have an army - making them one of the ...
