Marriott Los Suenos Beach And Golf Resort

... back to Puntarenas and my SODA was closed so we went back to our friends houses and they cooked us dinner and we just talked out under the stars for 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!! It was soooooooooo marvelous!!! I then got a taxi home and unpacked then went to bed. It was the best sleep that I’ve had in soooo long. Today I woke up, went on a run and the beach was incredibly beautiful today. There was not a cloud in the sky and every person I passed had a huge smile on their ...

... 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 ...

Life is so simple here....let me tell you about my day yesterday: At 7:30am I got up , fed the dogs, watered the plants and did the dishes, ate breakfast, then read my book and played on the internet for a few hours. Went down to the river and read some more...watched the Ticos swim. Walked down to the local market and bought some fresh papaya and cheese. Came home and decided to wash ...

... be around. Supposedly two of his wwoofer friends will be showing up within the next 24 hours as well. This is the life on a wwoofing farm.

Seven years ago, when our tired bodies stopped here in Manuel Antonio National Park for a rest stop, it was so jam packed with tourists that we couldn´t find a bed to sleep anywhere. And for the 3 days we were here then, it was raining nonstop. It wasn´t the best memories of our travels. This time, it was quite a contrast, the hotels are empty (perhaps due to the world economic crisis), and the sun is shining bright. Some may say it is the ...

... nothing. I also am thinking of Sardinal, a town that I am planning to go to conduct my fieldwork. The population there is struggling with water rights and social tension with the ever growing tourist industry in the Guanecaste area. Sardinal one of the three places where Mr. Vargas suggested I go. It is a town that is "un campo" (kind of rural peasent style) and that has Nicaraguenses ...

... laughed a lot until about ten when we closed the place down!?! It's a hip-hop-happening place by day but there's not much going on at night. No biggie though since I had lots of activities planned for today. I woke up at six this morning, played a couple of games of Sudoku (yes, I admit it. I'm addicted), ate a bowl of yoghurt (they make the best yoghurt in Monteverde. Dos Pinos yoghurt. I think it's their ...

... a smoothie with MILK! Big mistake....didn't exactly taste like the smoothie I was expecting. :( After breakfast we caught the van out to the forest for our canopy tour! The place was totally secluded with only indineous stores, shops and sites nearby. We first met this guy named "mono" which means "monkey." I told him that that was also my nickname! We got along like two peas in a pod. Next, we signed away our lives and applied bug repellant for the deadly ...

... in a private direct bus straight to Mal Pais and Santa Teresa, two surf towns on the end of the Costa Rican peninsula. The other girl named Kristen who has been traveling for a while now from Mexico all the way to Costa Rica, and knows less Spanish than I do, came with me on 4 public busses one ferry and one taxi. We had a three-hour head start on the other girls but we had to go a different way because the roads on the peninsula are really bad, so we called ...

You know it is going to be a good trip when you get on a packed flight and there are two empty seats next you. Well, until the very chatty man from across the aisle tells you it was unfair that you get three seats to yourself and joins you. All in all the flight was a success! After a short nap and watching the saddest movie ever, Flicka, (a personal fav of my dad´s) I arrived in San Jose ...
