Paradise Costa Rica Dominical

... he couchsurfed here at the farm last month. He had been touring around Costa Rica since and decided to come back here to Londres for a week to say goodby to the girls before they left. He is now off on his next adventure ; ) I had a nice time hanging out with these kids...we played cards, philosphized, went to the river, smoked, laughed and they all helped me learn how to take care of my new hair....good times. Next, Kelly and ...

... Life is getting regular. Thereīs a pattern to it, a comfort. Iīm enjoying much more staying and actually living in one spot rather then constantly passing through town after town. One of the wonderful things about being here is that I get the opportunity to really see Hacienda Barú and itīs wildlife. The other night I was able to join two of our guests, who happened to be Darrell, the owners cousin, and his wife Rite, on an excursion into the jungle for the ...

... someone came up with the idea of converting it into a restaurant is beyond me, but it was pretty cool. On Sunday, we again spent the morning on a beach in Manuel Antonio, and then headed back to Puriscal. As our drive coincided with the sunset over both the ocean and the mountains, the views were spectacular. Another great weekend here in Costa Rica. Except for one tiny thing. Everywhere I have been in Costa Rica, including Playa ...

... ice cream. Today we went on the Mangrove boat tour and saw lots of Whiteface monkeys and added 15 more species to our list of birds sighted. I've put some pictures here but you can see more on our Picasa photo site at picasaweb.google.com/suespence. It's still about 25c here every day but not quite as humid except for last evening when it poured rain for about 2 hours. To cope with the heat we continue to spend most afternoons by the Cascadas pool. Tough life. Pura Vida.

... your palm in the bathroom. And sometimes flying beetles dive bomb your face. And watch the railings - they maybe covered in ants. Transportation The cabs here can be pretty cheap- if you tell them the amount you are going to pay first. Traffic comes first- watch your step because they aren't watching for you! The bus is very cheap but you all know how i feel about the bus. I do ...

dominica was the only port were we used the tender boats to get us ashore, there were three other ships there inclduing the Arcadia Dominca was very small one street and we had seen it all, from the ship you can see a very lush green island with very little building. After the exploration of the main street we took a trip out to do some whale watching. This was an ...

... because of too much "aguacero". It's crazy with about as much focus on just keeping the whole activity going as on the actual dance moves themselves. But by the end of forty-five minutes my legs are feeling it, my abs seems a little bit tighter, and the sweat is streaming down my back. "Good work out," I say while drinking my water out of a coffee mug before moving the TV back to the bedroom in another beautifully synchronized routine with Adriana. "Cafecito?" says Seida ...

... with bites I was sure already covered my body. When the shampoo was brought, me and about six of my 5th and 6th grade girls immediately ran Chiclet to the school sink and began the wash. I donīt think Iīve ever been so grossed out in my life. As soon as Chiclet hit the water, she started howling, and the fleas started crawling. I had never realized that they were such big bugs. I was envisioning tic-like thingies. But no, these were huge and all ...

Hello Everyone! Mo and Katie here. We are very sorry for the delay in travel blogs and pictures. I have been hearing a lot of complaints so here we are delivering. It has been a very exciting few weeks here since we have talked to you last. We have had an international party which felt more like an international convention and many studies and new visitors and people moving in. So where to start.... well the party sounds good. We have had a wave of visitors in San Isidro in the past week ...

hello everybody!! so, dominical ended up not be all it was cracked up to be. the morning after we got there we went down to the beach and because of the rain the night before, the water and sand was all mixed up so the water did not look very inviting! the beach was also all rocky, so, so much for a nice relaxing day on the beach, we instantly threw that idea right out the window. instead we ...
