Playa Blanca, Punta Leona Jaco, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica, 1000, 2231-3131
Costa Rican culture immersion was the name of the game this week. ISA took us to the National Theater Thursday to watch a modern dance performance. Truthfully, I wanted to go more for the experience than the actual performance - I've never really enjoyed modern dance (sorry to those that do). I had a good time, but so much of the performance seemed dark and depressing to me. One part had people bound together in what appeared to be pantyhose as they were cannibalizing each other. So, a good e...

... the services of one of the girls, but decided he could afford to pay two of the girls to felate him, because as he so eloquently put it the next day 'I've never been with 2 girls before and it costs just over 2 McValue meals, so why not?' - I don't know why he would need two girls, perhaps the prominent dick on his forehead required some attention. In fairness though, I don't think he was meaning to be that sleazy, he's just a bit naive - he was raised in a tiny town in ...
Jaco, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica shanemilli... 08 - Bloody Hell it's December - not long now and this year of adventure will all be over, but what a great time it has been, so many wonderful memories to keep. As for today at Cocos it would make the whole years wait to get here worthwhile. We first returned to 'Álcyone' which would be dive site number two as well. Why you may ask? Well for anyone who has seen the BBC's Blue Planet series and remembers the shots of the vast schooling Hammerhead sharks, yes we had now ...
Puntarenas, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica michaelandsuzy... that there was no one else playing in the trees (except those crazy monkeys) so I took full advantage to go at my own pace. Some of the zip lines were pretty long, provided more great views, and were really fun. It was particularly enjoyable because I could really fly without worrying about anything else - I highly recommend trying this activity when available. After that, I ventured into Jaco for some souvenir shopping and to look ...
Jaco, Costa Rica court0Hola guapos/as! Costa Rica, aqui' estamos! Dopo la toccata e fuga al Terminal Coca Cola, (raffinatissimo quartiere della capitale San Jose' per fare amicizia con la simpatica gente del posto, prodiga nell' alleggerire gratuitamente i turisti dai bagagli, con cui non abbiamo pero' avuto modo di stringere rapporti grazie alla soffiata di una barista della soda che ce li ha levati di torno) non ...
Puntarenas, Province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica elisaeilaria... Tokyo, and that Gloria was the most useful tour guide/translator we could ask for. She knew so much about the sleepy beach town, even though she had never been there. Unfortunately, she had to cut her journey short and return back to San Jose for work. (We hope you make it to Monteverde Gloria, its beautiful!!) She stayed with us until our bus to Monteverde arrived, saving us any confusion over language barriers. Being on the bus to ...
Puntarenas, Costa Rica jay_and_joann... of the time which makes for a ¨Monteverde¨which translates as ¨Green Mountain.¨ I am surrounded by greenery and spectacular scenery (hey, I´m a poet and don´t even know it.) The view from my apartment window is breathtaking. I´ll brag about that later. Monteverde was originally settled by Costan Rican farmers, but is now home to a small group of North American Quakers. These people left the US ...
Santa Elena, Costa Rica friskyc... these poor creatures were fit for was a gentle stroll and it got a little frustrating. Note to self: next time check whether the horses can move a little faster. We agreed to go on the canopy tour tour with the guy who ran our accommodation. That went well so we agreed to go on the expedition to Arenal with him too rather than check with other operators. Our mistake...it was the trip to see the volcano which is supposed to be fairly spectacaular. We weren't ...
La Fortuna, Costa Rica bshorts... me anymore than it already had. while there, i emailed louey, who is a family friend, sorta, and who lives in santa ana, which is close to san jose. he said that he was on vacation and was just about to go on a weekend beach trip with a couple of friends and that i should come. so, even though i was infact wanting to go to manuel antonio with the boys, i figured i had tons of time to see it there and decided to meet up with louey for this ...
Jaco, Costa Rica maiamuffin... I meet the locals, one at a time. I see another familiar face, Bismar. Bismar watched our farm once when Efrain had to return home for something a year ago. He built our bridge over the river so we could drive into our finca when the water was high. He also is amazed at who he is seeing in his town!! Pequeno mundo Everyone is interested in seeing and meeting the "blanco". They are great people and so welcoming. I am really overwhelmed by it all. There ...
