Villas Mymosa Quepos

... papaya and pretzels with dijon mustard. I had a Cuba Libre in a can and Kelly had a vodka/tang concoction. Kelly had brought her pedicure stuff and we sat by the edge of the water working on our tired feet. All the sudden this little dog with a limp gets caught in the currant and cannot get to shore. I remember thinking, someone should help him. But, as those words hit my brain I realized I ...

... the way and got excited when we saw the ocean! It means that we are close. As we drove down, you can feel the weather change; it was nice! When we arrived at Quepos, we stopped DT so we had a chance to get money or exchange money etc. before heading to the hotel. Our hotel is about 10 minutes away from DT and is called Blue Monkey in English. It's a cute little place with a couple of pools that you ...

... the guy went to see his boss. The boss had sunglasses like in ''Chips'' and when we saw him arriving in the mirror we had to focus not to laugh. More blahdblah, yes it was dangerous, no i will never do it again ... and finally he said ok we could go and showed us the directions. They probably just wanted to scare us. I don´t know. Their directions were a bit ****, because we got lost again, asked a few people and finally found our way. When we ...

... and then pop out of nowhere. Even more fascinating is that, contrary to my initial belief, the songs are not being played to cater to Americans. In fact, I learned from the teacher at the community college that she and many of her fellow Costa Ricans love 80s music. So, apparently, Costa Rica is where 80s music doesn't go to die, but instead is where the cheesy bubble-gum sounds of 80s music goes to live on happily forever and forever...

... Jose and Interbus for the ride from Quepos to San Jose, booking with Susan at Books2Go. She is really nice and very helpful so if you're ever in Quepos and need someone to help with tours or travel be sure to check out her place. On Friday we went to dinner at Bamboo Jam with Catalina and Gary. It is also a place we had been meaning to get to earlier so were happy we finally made it. It's one of Gary's favorites with ...

... is not acting, just a very candid shot from yesterday morning! We got ourselves going though and had a great hike on trails winding through our hotel complex. Then we ran down to town and got a bunch of awesome fruit at a fruit stand! We needed strength for a rigorous and amazing horseback ride! It rained HARD the night before (really awesome to see) so ...

... having a party up there! Wrestling around and maybe a lil tap dancing. I'm waiting for one to topple off and onto the deck. Actually i just had one scurry across the ledge and into a treetop. That was close enough. I am trying to make a deal with them, if they leave me alone i will leave them alone as well. And there are many sizes. The one in the tree was the size of my leg ...

I drove down from jaco to quepos. the town does not offer much. on the way you cross two adventurous bridges. further down i reached Manuel Antonio, the Beach National Park. The beaches are really perfect with good water and white sand and a diverse coastline. however, for me a day of beaching was enough. so i headed back to Jaco where there is more to do. then i startet to ...

... Lounge during our layover in Charlotte. This is the way to travel! We sucked the life out of the free wireless internet, muffins and hot chocolate. ARRIVING IN SAN JOSE My first impression of Costa Rica as the plane was pulling in, was how green and lush it was, with beautiful mountains visible in the distance. The sky was overcast and given it's rainy season, chances for rain every afternoon are high. We ...

... to say we got back to land dripping wet but we had a great time doing it! I was going to leave today and head up to La Fortuna to the volcano, but some people that I met from Cali convinced me to stay for another day. :) so I bought my ticket for tomorrow. Right now I am going to go up to the beach and hang out for a little bit. I brought my cloths over to get washed so that should be done around 3. They really needed a good cleaning! Until next time :)
