Arhhhhhhhhh life in Montezuma... I realise why people keep coming back for more. It is just such a liveable town. Yes it is small and everyone knows everyone elses business, but it is nice to have so many friends so close and you meet new people who come to visit the town daily! Such good vibes in this lil coastal surf spot! During my last couple of months in Montezuma I was lucky enough to visit Isla Tortuga (or Turtle Island), where unfortunately we didn't actually see any turtles however we had a fantastic day snorkelling, playing beach volleyball, eating and relaxing on a gorgeous beach. I visited Isla Tortuga with 4 other girlfriends, Steph, Amy, Codi and Jen and we had a super fun day together! I also experienced a canopy tour with Suntrails (lots ... read more

But I have managed to do some cultural outings. After I got to montezuma, I rented a bike in town and biked the 9km to Cabo Blanco, one of Costa Rica's first National parks.

As many of you have read the past few days, actually weeks, have been a whirlwind of new and interesting adventures. Since reviewing the comments and looking over our last couple of entries it seems like the last day of August would best be spent taking it easy…if a person can do that with two young and enthusiastic children in tow. We really have appreciated the comments and private messages. Nataghia and I were discussing our predisposition (addiction) to using the internet. We have decided that as long as it is keeping us in contact with our friends and family we have no problem with needing the computer and all its wonders. Did I mention how much we love the comments and hearing from everyone? As previously decided we did take a day off from any ... read more
