... the third time of `Oh chicas, sexy sexy` its also more attention than one can take :) We stayed in a small surf**s place as well, sharing one bed the first night but happy, to have a cheap place to stay:) The following days passed by fast, chilling at the beach, reading and getting totally sunburned (we really must work on our teint!!). For the first time since we arrived to Costa Rica it felt like we `come down`, putting away our worries ...

... Kevin had a great day of rafting on the Rio Savegre (Savegre River). They saw lots of wildlife and birds as well and maybe even a Puma. We all ate at Ronnies that evening, a restaurant that faces the pacific coast in Manuel Antonio.

This weekend I finally had an opportunity to explore Costa Rica's natural wonders. After work on Friday morning, my fellow volunteers and I piled into a van and headed to Parque Manuel Antonio--a national park that is know for its abundant flora and fauna, as well as fabulous beaches. The drive was beautiful, as it took us through the mountains of Costa Rica, and then along the Pacific Coast. The only part of the drive that was a bit ...

... ripping down the telephone wires that were hanging across the street. A couple didn't make it in spite of the encouragement and directions from the restaurant gallery. On Thursday we had dinner again at Patio el Café. It is without question one of the best eating spots in Quepos for any meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner. Everything there has been excellent, including the service. On Friday, in our effort to get to all the places we wanted to try before leaving, we ...

... After a second trek, we called it a day about 2ísh and headed back to the entrance. By now, the river which we crossed in the morning easily at ankle deep was now knee deep, and an enterprising guy had a boat out offering to take folk over. It´s no that deep, so we just followed the path of a few others and got across easily. Tourists were now all over the village, crawling along the street souvenir stall by souvenir stall ...

... and hearing screeching sounds. There he was, the first lil monkey! I called for Danielle to get the camera and then there was another one. In seconds they seemed to be everywhere! There had to be at least 30 of them ~ leaping from branch to branch and occasionally stopping to look at us. I have never seen something so amazing! We snapped pictures and watched them scurry. I of course wanted to feed them but Danielle reminded ...

... the skin diver appeared on the beach carrying his single fin. Well, it all looked very different out in the water. Having satiated the need for sun, sand and seafood, at least for a little while, we headed over the border into Nicaragua and San Juan Del Sur. This is where we made a night trip to watch the Olive Ridley turtles lay their eggs. It was an amazing sight as, with only the red glow of the guide's torch, we watched the turtle leave the sea and head up the ...

Hi everyone! Getting back to La Palma from Drakes Bay was interesting. If I thought the bus ride to Drakes Bay was scary, I was wrong. After 2 days of a lot of rain, the streams that were 6 feet wide were now over 20 feet wide. The water came onto the bus it was so deep. We didn´t switch buses this time, we just stayed on the one big bus for the whole ride. But I survived. My adventure to the indigenous family was really nice. I lucked out and both ...

... some locals drumming in the neighborhood, and felt like we were in Brazil during Mardi Gras....not bad at all. We are goimg to check out the beach or town later. Ciao till we have something more exciting to report other than our jet lag soaked mumbles. xo H&J
