... the beach. It was a very interesting place to eat, and they had a lot of fish mounted on the wall and information about big game fishing. Dinner here was good, but everyone was tired from riding in the car.

Oscar took us on a quick driving tour of Manuel Antonio (the small town) to show us where everything was, and then he took us to the La Posada ( www.laposadajungle.com ). We went to check in and met Jonathan. He showed us our rooms ...

Am naechsten Tag ging
es dann in den Nationalpark, klein, voller Touristen, aber wunderschoen
trotzdem. Wir haben viele Tiere gesehen, vor allem eine grosse
Kapuzineraffenherde, die um uns herum unterwegs war, frass und
spielte...wunderbar. Ausserdem einen Iguana, Faultier und sonstige
Tiere....

Das Aparthotel ist übrigens absolut abschreckend!!! Es hat nichts mit dem Internet zu tun....

... both of our main dishes. To top it off, we had a big argument with the manager who said Son had eaten too much of her tuna for a refund. She had already been told by the same manager that she wasn't going to have to pay for it - he'd performed a massive U-turn. Son told him we'd be sitting at our table until he was ready to come and talk to us, but after about ten minutes of being ignored, I tapped on his arm as he passed us one more time and asked him to call the ...

... our apartment) looked equally surprised at what had just happened. I'm going to do a little research on the web at breakfast, see what happen via the various internet based 'earthquake' sites... I know, "I'm a geek, get me out of here", but sitting drinking coffee this morning in the cold light of day, I'm wondering if it was actually all a dream, more later! So, Day 4, the headcount will start with 1 earthquake.

... the seductive lamp of destiny. Whether it's God, or Progress, or whatever one's personal idol, the single-minded pursuit of a simplistic notion impedes the full realization of the greater goal. We get it into our heads that this thing is What It's All About, to the point that we often can't disengage from that perspective and reassess the situation objectively. I came to Costa Rica, in part, because I wanted to do something good for the world. At times I feel terribly ...

... the hills and ocean which almost makes up for having to stay in a 13 bed dorm!!! Actually itīs not bad at all seeing as there are only three people in it! The beach is stunning, blue clear water, white(ish) sand and lined with palm trees and itīs not crowded like so many other places. Tuesday we spent the morning surfing which was awesome, the water is so warm one could stay in all day and not get cold. In the afternoon we went walking in the national park which covers the ...

... Manuel Antonio area but plan to spend some time on the Caribbean coast on our next visit. Wherever we will be back here at Las Cascadas. We're curious to see how the new construction progresses and look forward to seeing Gary, Catalina, Dallas, Dillon and Brandon and Gary's mom, Betty again. The time, especially the last couple of weeks, has passed very quickly but we are ready to go home, in spite of the fact that there is apparently still lots of snow at home.

... grader, had to wear a tie with her uniform for the first time. Getting the tie tied was an event. Her mother didn't know how to do it, nor did I (I tried). Dad already had left for work. Reaching up, Dylan tried to do it. Jahaira even hailed a young woman driving by on a moped -- who presumably once tied her own ties in school -- but she could not remember how to tie it even on herself. So Jahaira, Dylan, their mother and I walked to school with a loose tie.

... planet" guide book. Just "being" in developing countries like Panama and in particular Nicaragua, is an experience. Our lofty standards mean little in a counries where electricity and running water isn't taken for granted. I found the experience put me in my place a little bit if you know what I mean. Costa Rica on the other hand is the richest country in Central America. Its gorgeus coast line has ...
