... speaks exceptional Spanish. I hope to be as fluent as he is before I leave back home. Afterwards, I came home to eat lunch and my host-mom helped me get an really great bike for cheap, 60$. It was important that I got a really strong one because it would definitely not be good if I was to have it break down somewhere. Carmincita and I rode our bikes around Puntarenas. It was so incredible, as we were riding there was a ...

... were breath taking. The hike itself took about 75 minutes with the guide and was about 2 miles of inclines up and down. We saw a jumping pit viper and a baby palm viper as well as come cicada exoskeletons left behid as they grew. Before leaving we saw two large bright blue and yellow Mccaws. Our lunch stop was at the other end of Arenal Lake. More rice and beans, but some delicious mesquite chicken and some home made hot ...

... for its nourishment. Some prefer fruit and will use it's tube to lick up the moisture and sugar from it for its meal. Here's two pictures of some butterflys: After walking around, the guide told us about a road that would lead us to a trail to the same waterfall we had been to when ziplining. We decided to go up and while there took a couple pictures because the view is amazing. It was already ...

... svært. Vi er selvfølgelig også turister, men efter 2 måneder føler vi os jo hjemme i byen, og så er det træls at de steder man plejede at have "for sig selv" er fuldstændig proppede nu. Vi har snakket om at leje en bil mere ofte i weekenderne, og køre til andre strande og byer, for Tamarindo er alt for turistpræget til at vi kan nyde det - især stranden! Til Maj kommer der RIGTIG mange mennesker, for Verdensmesterskaberne i surfing bliver holdt i Costa Rica i år ...

... town. So i decide the best bet is now the guy in the Corner Store - i trial my very poor Spanish and ask him the only question in my head that I can translate into Spanish "Is Montezuma here??" Apparently my pronunciation had improved substantially by this stage, his eyes widened with disbelief - "no no no no no sinorna!" Ok apparently not? He pointed to this little run down van masquerading as a bus - "Aqui Aqui!" OK so apparently this is the bus to Montezuma? To be continued..

... el resto del día paseando en la ciudad y comiendo en las tiendas. Cuando regresamos al hotel tomamos unos refrescos en el restaurante pero cuando salimos vimos en la vereda un bicho enorme. me dio asco pero saque un foto con mi mano para mostrar el tamaño.

... we'd walk there, take a quick dip and leave but it turned into possibly the most intense 3-hour hike of my life. i had several moments of panic where i thought i was going to either slip on a rock and crack my head open, or lose my footing and fall down the cliff. then, as i stood wimpering about how to cross a certain spot, a handful of children walked past me and manuevered in seconds...anddd then i realized to ...

Hola amigos, Aangekomen in La fortuna werden we belaagd door een bende hotel ronselaars. De temperatuur laaide hoog op evenals ons gemoed. Uiteindelijk dan toch nog een goede verblijfplaats gevonden. De volgende dag hebben we een tour gedaan naar Parque Arenal waar we eerst een stijve nek gekregen hebben ...

Well, firstly I have to apologize; no more pictures. On Monday evening around 1:00am I woke up to some guy in my apartment. I screamed louder and more terrified than ever before and chased him out. When he jumped the fence I managed to grab his arm and tried to pull him up, it must have been all the adrenaline because I was able to pull him in mid air with one arm. At this point I did not know what he had taken, even if he ...
