Hola agian....not really in San Isidro but its the closest place...when I go to add an entry it asks me to nominate the place and its not always there!...so we're actually at Domenical on the Atlantic coast...yes, another famous surfing spot!...quite a few surfistas around, the rest of the place is fairly westernised, again the ex-pats run the businesses, and here the places are really strung out .....halfway between the main road and the beach, a bit odd, its all still a few hundred metres from the beach...nowhere has beach views!...except for some places way up on the hill...maybe a conservation thing...about everywhere in CR is a park of sorts..ecotourism has been the big earner here and responsible for a lot of CR's income....and all the tracks off the main road are really badly potholed and ... read more

Deaner, if you could watch me here in Costa Rica you´d be enjoying yourself thoroughly because I have to sit still and talk and sit around and wait for what seems like hours after every meal. For those of you who know my eating habits, its usual consuming a monstrous plate of food as quickly as possible and then immediately getting up from the table regardless of whether or not anyone else is finished and leave. However, here in costa rica, i´ve had to master the art of patience and conversing with my fellow eaters in an attempt to be polite and social.

Projecto Raleigh International De abril a meados de julho trabalhei como voluntário para uma ong inglesa, a Raleigh International. 9 grupos distribuídos pela Costa Rica e Nicarágua em diferentes projectos. 3 ambientais, 3 comunitários e 3 de trekking. Cada projecto conta com a presença de cerca de 12 Venturers entre os 17 e os 25 anos e 2 a 5 Project Managers com mais de 25 e com diferentes especialidades. Todos voluntários. Enquanto que os Venturers passam pelos 3 diferentes projectos, os Project Managers estão fixos e compete-lhes assegurar a segurança e sucesso de cada fase de cada projecto.

Trabalhei na Reserva Natural de Curu, na costa do pacífico da costa rica. O ... read more

So Marco´s scored a date with the 24 year old Costa Rican Chica tuesday night and the first thing he said to me yesterday morning was. Muchas Besos.. Alot of kisses!!!!!!!! And he said he was in a bar, with other people sitting at the table. That had to be so awkward, like when you were younger and watching a movie with the rents and all of a sudden harrison ford and some broad were getting it on. Well, I almost lost it there, muy comico. But thats not even the best part, about 30 minutes later, Marcos lets it leak that his tica has 2 kids, an 8 year old and god knows how old the other one is. That means she was pregnant at 15, ala sarah gellet. But thats not even the best ... read more
