Our 5 days in Dominical were full of rest and relaxation on the verandah overlooking the ocean and poolside, though we did manage to adventure some in the area too. We spent several evenings on the beach watching the sunset and boogie boarding. One day included another horseback riding trip for Mom, Dad, Jeff and Nikki; this time Nikki rode her own (Din was his name), out to the Nauyaca Falls near Dominical. Shae spent a few hours swinging in a hammock at Las Rocas, which is an adventure in and of itself here in the the jungle ; ) ... read more

There is only 1 reason to go to this town of 100 people: surfing We had a fun few days here with a mixed crew of Aussies, Dutch, Americans, Israelis, and Canadians, but with one common goal: a good wave. Unfortunately, the swell wasn’t very big while we were there so entertained ourselves with lots of rum and dancing. There was a huge tree that had fallen over on the beach on which we would sit in the evenings and watch the sun set. We saw a Tico with a huge Iguana over his shoulder which he claimed he had caught for dinner and tasted like chicken. He then proceeded to get on the public bus with the giant thing. One night a guy invited us to celebrate his 60th birthday with him by watching his ... read more

Nous revenons de san gerardo de dota, un village perdu dans la foret tropicale, dans le parc national los quetzales. Un endroit qui nous a pris toute la journee a nous rendre. Encore la, pas de bus pour se rendre au village. heureusement que deux gars nous ont fait une ride au village.... WOW, les montagnes a perte de vue et la route qui serpente dans tous les sens. Malheureusement, pas de singes et de jaguars. Cest Myriam, la dame aux gros sourcils des montagnes qui nous a accueilli chez elle. Une nuit dans une cabane, pas si mal... malgre le froid intense de la nuit derniere, environ 12 degres. POur les repas, pas de problemes. Myriam se faisait un plaisir de nous preparer un poisson exotique que lon nomme la truite..evidemment avec un peu de ... read more

Hello all - Well, this is my last blog for the season. I'm sitting right now in the airport waiting for my flight to New York. Vomit. Basically, I was a moron and booked one flight from 12:30 to 5:00 pm and the other from 5:30 AM (AM!?!?!) to 8:30. Again, vomit. I've got a long night ahead of me here in Fort Lauderdale... and can you believe the closed all of the resturants (what I'm I supposed to eat? And I want coffee!). Anyway, so I've got all night to go on and on and on... Last week I took sometime away from my monkey playground in the clouds and went to the beach... Dominical. It was entirely awesome. The roads aren't paved. The beach stretches forever in both directions. The forests and the palms ... read more

English speakers, you know the drill by now... -------------------------------------------- Apres mes 3 jours de marche, je suis allee a la plage pour un repos que je trouvais bien merite- ou plutot, un repos obligatoire, parce que mes jambes et le bas de mon dos en ont decide ainsi... Donc j'ai pris le bus pour Dominical, une plage sur la cote pacifique. J'ai passe 3 jours ici, et pour etre reposant, c'etait reposant... Au point que j'avais plutot hate de partir, la plage ca va bien 5 minutes... Dominical, c'est le paradis des surfeurs, et les surfeurs, croyez-moi, ca parle beaucoup de surf! Enfin, on a bien rigole a l'auberge, il y avait une ambiance sympa... et apparemment je suis officiellement anglais, en tous cas, c'est ce que pensent tous les americains que je rencontre... Ils n'entendent ... read more
