So today was another rainy day and I didn´t really do much of anything until I heard a group of people talking about going surfing..so I joined them. So a little boat picks us up (4 of us...2 good surfers, and then myself, and another girl who was just learning) around 4pm. As we are driving to the drop-off point and it begins to pour...but no one seems to be discouraged so I just roll with it (but start to get a little worried). On the way there I also learn that there is a coral bottom (apposed to sand) so [View Full Entry]

HOLAS AMIGOS, So early this morning I caught a bus to the Panama border, then a taxi to the marina (which is actually just a tiny dock in the back of someones house), and then a boat to the island of Bocas del Toro (which is off the north eastern coast of Panama). I settled into a really cool looking hostel and am ready to start a new adventure in a new city/country. But first I will recap the time I spent in the city of Puerto Viejo (south eastern Costa Rica). I spent Thursday through Monday (morning) at the some [View Full Entry]

Random observation: (1) There are no addresses here. No house numbers, no street names/signs, nothing like that. All directions are give by landmarks and meters (one block equals 50 or 100 meters…depending). That also means that no one gets mail delivered, everyone picks it up at the post office. (2) Fast food such as KFC cost more then a meal at a nice sit-down restaurant. Kind of crazy. So yesterday I had an amazing time white water rafting…it was like nothing I had ever seen before in our area (New River). Jeff, correct me if I am wrong, but I think [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! Right now I am in Turrialba, Costa Rica (which is inbetween San Jose and Limon) and it is basically a kayaking and whitewater rafting base camp. But I will give you a quick review from where I left off. Actually first let me make a few random comments. (1) As everyone knows, I basically know no spanish what so ever. but occasionally I am able to piece a phrase together and ask a local a simple question (such as ¨Donde esta la autobus para Turrialba¨). And on those rara occasions when I do get it right...boy o boy I [View Full Entry]

Well I have made it...right now it is 6:45 in the morning (why did I get up so early...i think I might have to invest in a watch...although, you all know I couldn't sleep in anyway). I am at a hostel in San Pedro (San Jose) Costa Rica. So I only have one thing to report so far. While sitting at Dullus airport I ment an older group of people (in there 40's) who are all rafters and kayakers (bye the way....I'm screwed without a spell checker). So I made friends, and end up getting invited to meet them in some [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone...I just wanted to test the travel log that I am trying to set up. I think that I'll just update this webpage every so often with stories and pics and then send out an email tell everyone that I have made an update. I will also be sending out the occasional personal emails. Also; if you would like postcards, then send me your mailing address. -Chris [View Full Entry]
