stinky sleeping in the kittys spot
Hey there, Today was long. I woke up around 7am and finished all my packing. Then i wanted to clean up a bit so Hernan wouldn't have to work to hard on the house after we left. I swept the house, folded the towels, did the dishes, and rearranged all the furniture to how it originally was. When we went to bed last night the kitty cat had come to visit and had curled up on one of the chairs to sleep. Stinky was still hanging out on a rug on the porch. When i got up Stinky had scared the cat away and decided to curl up on her warm chair. He was squeezed into this tiny space and it was so cute i had to take a picture. Around 8am Myles got up and ... read more
the gate to Hernans house
Hey people! So we are getting ready to leave. Today i woke up at 8am and went onto the porch to read. When Myles got up a little later we started to pack. We both wandered around the house picking up things that we know needed to come home with us and that we weren't going to need in the next few days. Once that was done to the extent it could be until the next day, we relaxed for a little bit. We both knew that that would probably be the last time we got to just sit and enjoy the serenity of Costa Rica before our crazy trip home. When we got hungry we ate left over pizza and chicken from last night. At one point Stinky decided to come hangout. So we gave ... read more
breakfast
Hello again, So on Thursday we were signed up for a tour with the bush master Ricky again. Myles had been really wanting to go to Manzanillo, and i had been really wanting to go to Punta Uva. So we set up a trip to do both in one day. They are very close together so it was a good plan. It was Cindy and Georges last day, so they just wanted to hangout at the house and relax, so it was just Myles and i. We met Ricky at the bus stop at 7am to catch the public bus outta town. Once we got on Ricky told us he had another couple of people we were going to meet at one of the stops on the way. Half way there these girls get on the ... read more
sloth place
Hey there, Sorry i haven't written in a while. I just wasn't feeling it the pat couple of days. But since we will be leaving soon i decided to catch you up. On Wednesday we woke up and it was very nice outside. The previous day it had rained so we were happy to know that our adventures would be happening on a pretty day. At around 6:15 am the boys (Myles and George) left to go on their fishing trip. Cindy and i decided to just relax at the cabina for the next couple of hours until our tour was to begin. The "tourismo" bus picked us up at our place at 9am and we were off to see the sloths. After a very bumpy ride we arrived in Cahuita about 20 minutes later. We ... read more
stinky and Myles playing
Hey all, I am doing one blog entry for both yesterday and today. We haven't done a whole lot and there aren't a lot of pictures so it would be easier to condense it. Yesterday we woke up around 7:30am to the sound of rain pounding on the roof. Cindy and George were getting ready to leave. Their taxi was supposed to get here at 8am. As they were finishing up last minute things, Myles and i got up to see them off. Before we knew it the taxi had arrived and we were waving them out the door. I cant believe it has been raining the past two pays. So inconvenient for travel, but since it is the rain forest i guess that's how it goes. It was so nice having them here for the ... read more
big butterfly it must have been 5 inches with its wings open
Hey there, So we had a lot of plans today that kinda got shot down because of the rain. We woke up around 5:30am to Myles blaring alarm clock on his phone. We weren't sure that we would get up that early without help so we set it last night. Fishing is early business. The boys (Myles and George) had a fishing trip set today and they had to meet their captain on the other side of town at 7am so we got up early to prepare for their departure. Cindy and i had a kind of girly day. We planned on going to the sloth sanctuary, then to a local chocolate farmer, then to a pretty waterfall. But, we were not getting picked up till 10am so we were only up to see the men ... read more
gearing up
Sorry this is late but we were all feeling too tired last night to mess with the blog. Yesterday was a lot of fun! We started off the day by getting picked and driven into town (not having to walk into town is always nice) and getting dropped off at the Terra Adventures place. They had our ATV's ready and waiting for us. Our guide was a very nice guy name Raul. He showed us how to use the ATV's and had us drive up and down the streeta couple of times. He had to go help Crista because she got stuck at one point. After a couple of times up and down the street it was time to go. First we had to go back by the cabin to get our driver's licenses (nobody told ... read more
lil monkey 1
Hey Everyone, Today was awesome. As i mentioned in the last blog Myles had been really wanting to go snorkeling, and since our last attempt did not work (it was the day Myles was deathly ill.) yesterday we signed up for a tour to Cahuita National Park and some snorkeling at the point there. Cahuita is one of only two living coral reefs in all of Costa Rica, and it is supposed to be beautiful. We woke up around 7:30. Our bus was supposed to pick us up at 8:00am. We had a little toast (and tried the new peanut butter. Its weird) with some fresh fruit and we were ready to go. We sat around and waited, and waited. Finally the bus showed up 30 minutes late. But, at least it showed up right? We ... read more
a toad from the first night Cindy and George were here
Hello there readers, Today was fun. We have been here now a little over two weeks and since Cindy and George have arrived it has been nice to show someone everything we have seen and learned. We all woke up quite early to make it to the farmers market before all the food was picked over. We got into town at about 8:15am or so. We warned Cindy and George that the farmers market was really small but i still think they were surprised to actually see how small it is. Its like maybe 10 stalls, and that's it. We picked up some fun stuff, Myles and i have been eying this homemade peanut butter, and this weekend we finally decided to get some. I just hate buying it because it costs so much, but they ... read more
snakes 1
Hey Everyone! So i think today was my second favorite day here so far. We woke up around 7:45 because Myles set his alarm so we could get to our plans. We got up and headed to Banana Azul to rent some bikes again. We got on the road around 8:45. We were heading to the Jaguar Sanctuary just south of town. The sun was shining, which was nice because the past couple of days have been kind of over cast and rainy. When we got up we did not want to put on any sunblock or bug spray because we heard that you can not hold the animals at most of the sanctuary places because its bad for the animals skins. So we jumped on our bikes and peddled quickly into town trying not to ... read more
