Sarapiqui returning to blue
It's starting to become closer to its crystal clear blue as it was around Christmas time, and pretty well all of Vladimir's live (he's 23, son of Minerva my hostess)

That Vladi, sooo talented,...
Among several other other-worldly talents, Vladi does flame throwing and juggling. This was at a birthday party on Sunday, the Vol Coordinator turned 24.

Waiting for Summer Camp
I looked out of the Volunteers office and saw some kids sitting quietly waiting for the Kaity and a volunteer, Joanna, to arrive to start the Summer Camp. It had been Joanna's birthday on Monday, and they were a bit slow in dragging their tired bodies in that morning,.....

After they made their signs
I helped out on the Monday when we were a volunteer short so it was lots of fun being with these dear little kids. I suppose I should have stopped the boys from filling the latex gloves with water and making water bombs,... but it looked like alot of FUN!!!!!

Lunch out on Saturday
A little restaurant across the street from the rafting place. I can't remember what this is. Something with chicken.

Quiet spot by the river
on the way to the Chilimate Rainforest Retreat, the wife part of the owners is Canadian. Wonderful bubbly girl called Meghan.

Vladi offered to take me in to
Puerto Vaiarta oh the spelling is wrong. Anyway I needed to get to a bank machine, down to a few thousand colones. We got off the bus and had a great cool snack. First the sweet juice from the coconut, then oranges. We were parched!

Yesterday we tackled a huge mess
Gerardo the Director asked us to help clean out ONE closet, filled with junk. At the end of the afternoon, we had unearthed many good treasures and working equipment!

My flip flops were dying
so I peeked into a store onthe main street. Uh-oh.
Got away with only two pairs.

Lunch at a real place
not one of those tourista joints. Vladimir's friend owns this one, and I am all for supporting local economy!!
Mine is guava juice, and I'll have to get Vladi to write out what his is. Looks like frog eggs. You are supposed to just let it slide down your throat.

Up close and personal
Just in case you miss how really appealing this refreshing treat is.
