... pictures of the beautiful macaw, the less beautiful turkeys and the solitary peacock that actually did spread out its feathers at one occasion as an honor to the photographers. There was also a solitary wild pig, although we suspected it of being very domesticated.<br><br>Before leaving again, we rested on the beach while listening to the waves and the guides playing beach volley with some of the other tourists there. At one point, when I went into the water, I suddenly felt a ...

... aber natuerlich auch den groessten Teil der Tiere vor uns verscheucht. Der Weg ist gut praepariert und ausgeschildert, allerdings stehen ueberall Warnschilder vor Krokodilen. Sie sollen aber sehr scheu sein. Echt schade ;-) Was wir ganz in Ruhe bestaunen koennen, sind grosse Flaechen mit Mangrovenwurzeln, die sich hier bei Ebbe gerade in ihrer ganzen Schoenheit zeigen. Als es dunkel wird verkriechen wir uns in unserer Huette. Da es ausser fuer kleine Lampen keine ...

... None of these things are affecting my quality of life here in the jungle. I just love it. We mostly cook at the house, but occasionally we go to a soda (restaurant) right next to the river and get a fresh fish sandwich for about $2.50. Kelly is a fantastic cook though...and I do help prep and of course, clean up. It works out nicely for both of us. Plus, the girl knows how to whip up a river side picnic like nobodies business!!

... clothes, which you do by hand, then hang them to dry on the line out back. I then showered at the outdoor shower (there are two indoor showers, but the outdoor shower is way more fun!) More reading, internet, listening to music on my computer (Cake) talking with Kelly....then, 3 wwooffer boys showed up to stay a few days and we all cooked dinner (Kelly cooked a curry pasta dish ...

... and I got to Elena's there were already 5 wwoofers here (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms...google it) . Erin and Nathan went on to Playa Uvita yesterday and Kyle to San Jose. Sophie and Maile left for San Jose this morning...they will be missed....so sweet and unbelievably helpful with the cowboys. We had a new arrival, Jesse, and he is a great help and very easy ...

... that short distance, it goes from sealevel to 13,000 feet. There are four regions: lowland, midland, cloudland and rainforest. In the midland and cloudland, it rains about 25 feet a year. In the rainforest, located on the Atlantic, it rains about 50 feet a year. We took a tour to the high midlands to a coffee ...

... dalla pianta, invece era solo un piccolo pappagallo che poi mi si è spostato sulla spalla! Che carino! Subito è arrivata una bambina scusandosi e non appena l'ha chiamato il pappagallo si è staccato da me ed è volato da lei. Durante il viaggio in macchina in un fiume abbiamo visto dei coccodrilli, in giro per l'albergo invece ogni tanto ci sono dei piccoli iguana. Per il resto di animali strani non ne ho ancora visti ma sicuramente nella giungla nei prossimi giorni non mancheranno!

... kept secret) and studied some vocabulary. I was picked up at seven by my favorito taxista Johnny who took me to the Cloud Forest Preserve. Along the way, Johnny stopped to show me a quetzal, a beautifully coloured bird which is apparently on the endangered specied list. There are only 300 left in these parts so I was quite excited to have seen one. I tried to take a picture but it didn't really turn out ...

... aangezien we niet meer dan 3 meter ver konden zien. Na een wandeling naar een meer dat ook in mist gehuld was gingen we toch nog eens naar de krater kijken waar de mist ondertussen op wonderbaarlijke manier was opgeklaard! Indrukwekkend zicht! Een krater van 1km breed en 500m diep waaruit een stinkende dampende massa omhoog kwam. Ook de spurt terug naar het meer was de moeite want ook hier was de mist opgeklaard kortom uiteindelijk toch nog een vruchtbare ...

Hey everyone, Costa Rica is finally beginning to feel more like my current home and less of a place that I came to visit. This past week began with knowing that I was going to loose my surfing buddy for the rest of my time down here. Rich went back to New Jersey on Friday or Sat this weekend. On Friday I took a 5:30 bus from Tamarindo. I traveled with three girls; one has been at the school as long as I have the others came to visit her. Jenna and Maia ...
