Daniel Baum Our little group from the east coast town of Asbury Park, New Jersey are traveling to Costa Rica, Manuel Antonio. Mark & Peter have been there several times and my friend Jill and I are new to Central America. I plan to hit every beach in the world before I leave this planet. Think of the tan I'll get.

So we ate at this place...a local establishment..."Angles", which was situated on the main drag here in town....and in the back yard were the nino's playing, and with the eldest in the kitchen cooking(she was all of 14).

We woke to roosters, howling white face monkeys...and, the sweet sound of construction next door...all at the bewitching hour of 6am. We got up early as we had to eat and catch the tico bus to Manual Antonio Natural Park...as we wanted to get there early and hike the trails to experience the park at its liviest. We "hired" a guide for a private tour...just the 4 of us...nick named "skinny" or "flacko"....I(jill typing now) kept making a folding motion with my hands as if i were going to fold flako up and stick him in my pocket to take him [View Full Entry]

We've missed a few days, so we need to fill you all in. Internet is intermitant so please forgive us if we have to lie in the sun and TAN rather than fill your sad asses in on our travel escapades. After failing to enter the interenet site we traveled the rocks to OUR beach. You have to go early and be very careful as you crawl over the slippery, mounding spikey rock formations to the hidden beach in Manual Antonio. We met our new friends Gorgio and Bertrand from Vancouver BC. Naked and lying in the sun JIll found it [View Full Entry]

Well we've finally pack and arrived. Muchos stories of all the people we have met on the beach. Jill has never seen so much male anotomy before on the nude beach. Learing is good. \ We arrived Saturday after a 14 hour travel day. the flight down was easy and yes everything fit in the overhead compartment. Sensa Air seated 14 people and our girl jill did just fine with her eyes closed and not paying any attetion to the blinding clouds the the pilots who seemed more intent on doing the log work than actually flying the friggin' tin can [View Full Entry]

I'm not packed yet and the hours are ticking away. Jill is out buying a new cell phone she wont be able to use for the week. Peter is running around looking for Tivas and Mark seems to be the only one of us who is calm and ready... I've done my last Tiki Tan session and last trip to Target. Tomorrow, we meet at Newark Airport. Jill and I drive up at 5 am and Mark and Peter coming in from the city by rail. We arrive in San Jose at around 11am. And the adventure begins...

It's going to be almost 60 degrees today. Isn't it nice the weather is getting us ready for the equator? The up side of global warming. Soon the Ticos will be moving to Asbury. I know one person on a lake that would be cheering... Got my hair cut and the prerequisite gay mans wax yesterday. I’m getting looks when I tell people WHERE I am going and WHO I am traveling with.... The look of a prisoner as he watches his fellow inmate escape from Sing Sing... Dan excerp from email from Jill Ahhh yes... I too got the prerequisite [View Full Entry]
