We got a group of friends together for Good Friday and turns out, half the city of Quepos decided to come to our small town in Londres. Lots of local people were at the river that day. Our group had lunch at the river, and a few took turns going down the quick little rapids on our inter tube. On Saturday we took a bus up to Hermosa to go to the music festival....it was mostly reggae music. On our way to Hermosa, we all ...

... The current plan is still to move to Nosara (we we originally were going to settle) in June. I will be back here the first few days in June because I am also joining Gingher and Jim for the second half of their honeymoon....which is in Nosara! Right now there are 13 of us staying in a house together! What a bonus....to actually be able to hang with some of my friends from back home...and in the town I am going to be living in Costa Rica. Wow. Life is good.

... there were up to 20 people for dinner. It went so smoothly considering Kelly, Heidi and Elena whipped it together in less than 3 weeks. I was the photographer during the workshops and helped out in any way I could with meals, dishes, note taking and various other busy work. It was a joy to be around like minded people with such great visions of community.Now, what is community? Here is the wikipedia ...

... what time it was...just then, the water started coming right at my mat and our purses...we scrambled to pick things up quickly as the water came in...boy, did we look like tourists!!! Then a local came by to sell us a drink called Jamaican Me Crazy...some yummy frozen rummy drink. I guess if they called it Costa Rican Me Crazy it wouldn't have the same ring to it Then, there were the monkeys. Wow! There is a sign as ...

... yahoo or talking with you on Skype, and I disappear, just know that was what happened. And, of course there is no AC so when the electricity is out, so are the fans :( Luckily, I am used to the heat, so it is not so bad really...although the humidity is much higher. We don't have hot water which means, old showers...lucky for me...I love cold showers! Washing clothes by hand and drying them outside doesn't bother me much ...

... which has a bohemian vibe to it. There is one main street in Montezuma that has some hotels, hostels, restaurants, shops, craft tables, etc. and thats about it as far as the town goes. The major draw to Montezuma are the surrounding beaches, lush forests, waterfalls, etc. On Saturday, we hiked to the bottom of the first waterfall which was amazing! We went swimming in the pool that forms below the waterfall and it ...

... Monteverde, and he traveled with her right after that when I moved onto Puerto Viejo and she went to Manuel Antonio National Park.

Forever I'll have memories of wild howler monkeys with their loud and deep "woot woot woot!" coming from the trees. White-faced monkeys hanging around the balcony of our cabin. Hanging out with new friends, fun people, people who are genuinely happy and kind. People who are thinking outside the box ...

... a picture. Out of nowhere another one appeared. This one was mean! He showed his teeth and made a hiss like sound. I think he was eying Neko's cupcake, so we quickly crossed the street only to see he had jumped down and was following us across the street! I picked up Neko and the three of us were running from the monkey the size of cat. The streets are full with vendors and strays ...

Long time no write to, Well things have been just been moving right along. Yes I am an illegal alien, in this crazy, nothing ever gets done, country. But really what can you do. My classes are doing ok. I kind of had a Revelation today. I have been getting all worked up about everything, the report cards and tests and the BS pretty much. Once again thanks to Barb, I realized they are just kids, they are seven years old. Ohh god the relief that came to me today ...
