Playa Bejuco Puntarenas

... get out. Then we spent the rest of the day at the island, roaming around, swimming in the ocean, and lying out. It was too hot to just lie out like an egg cooking in a sauté pan so for almost 6 hours we had to figure out things to do. We played in the ocean for a long while, we ate, we hiked around, we spent a good amount of time in the souvenir shop which had sand floors! Then, the other Katie came up with this idea that we’d swim to this other beach which was right ...

... as requested. I then watched the soccer game before church with local ninos y hombres guapisimos at the restaurant. Church was fine, they introduced me to everyone during service and I had to say my name and stand up and wave. These little boys kept looking at me and smiling so I waved back to them and smiled. They were so cute, they kept telling everyone around them something because everyone kept turning around and looking an smiling at me. I couldn't stop smiling ...

With a 9:03 flight from Tambor to San Jose, we had to leave this morning at 7:30. Here is the Tambor airport and our plane: We really had a great time, it was just soooo relaxing and so different from any of our previous vacations. So with a six-hour layover in San Jose, we leave Tambor airport. Our goal was to drop off our luggage and head to the Zoo as Alex reccommended ...

... synes forresten det er sjovt at jeg hedder Hvid til efternavn, for jeg er nok den på skolen der er mest brun. Det ser ret voldsomt ud for jeg har fået rigtig meget farve, og mit hår er blevet så lyst. Men jeg klager ikke over min kulør.. men det gør Ditte og Camilla nok når de ankommer blege fra Danmark ;) Sidste uge tog jeg på en sejltur på en katamaran sammen med nogle af de andre fra skolen. Turen tog 4 timer og der var fri bar, og vi fik frokost på båden ...

... blocked out the little sunlight there was as they glided overhead. We must have spent 15 or maybe 20 minutes just drifting between the shoals hypnotized and staring out into the blue and whilst doing so we spotted our first two Hammerheads coming towards us, big ones! A couple of minutes later a massive, probably 3-4 meter long Galapagos shark passed by flanked by two remora fish. 3, maybe 4 more Hammerheads passed by before we decided to drift off into the current and the ...

... today and the taxi as from next week! So the tourism will probbly die in that zone unless the government accepts to pay to rebuild the road, which is not likely to happen. So we felt privileged to be able to go there so easily. The town is full of cats and dogs, we wanted to adopt one almost, he was following us everywhere. We went to the beach but the waves on the pacific side are to crazy for my liking, i was really scared of them because they just ...

... and vegetables of some kind, plus meat if you want it and maybe some cheese and slices of avocado. A balanced meal on a plate and very tasty. Following our tasty lunch we headed to the Serpentario to check out lots of poisonous and non-poisonous snakes as well as some frogs and a lizard. Al most liked the boa constrictors (which were the most active) and I thought the basilisk lizard was awesome - it looked like dried up green leaves. The butterfly ...

... of getting here! That night we had a brilliant night in Sanata Elena. We had a meal in the coolest restaurant ever, which is effectively a tree house. There is a large tree growing through the middle and the restaurant has been built around it and its all beautifully lit up at night. We then went on to 'Los Amigos' bar, which was full of locals putting us to shame with their salsa on the dance floor. We had a little go though ...

... and my apartment was a wreck and I didn´t really have a whole lot planned. So I pretty much had a mental breakdown, (Thank you Mom for making me laugh). Today was a complete an udder(sp) fiasco. The students were crazy they knew more than I did. The bells didn´t work I didn´t have a watch, they do not speak English very well at all and yeah I did my best. Because it is a private school the ...

... them is only the tip of the iceberg; I reckon there was 20 years between me and the next youngest. And they were predominantly American. There were times that I wished I'd packed some extra socks to cram into their drawling loud mouths. That notwithstanding, it was an excellent walk. Not much to see in the way of wildlife (what a surprise that was with a continuous conversation in front of me about what ...
