Out of the Jungle...

---

Hey, will keep this short and sweet cause los olas grandes (the big waves) are calling my name...the jungle, what can i say...it was exactly as i hoped it would be...in point form...

- made a medicinal plant garden with interpretive info for local school kids
- went scuba diving for free 4 times, swam with manta rays, sharks and turtles
- snorkelling every day
- 2 hour hikes to my secluded surf beach, waves all to myself
- 6 hour hike to the nearest town to freshen up on whisky/beer stash
- struck at by a fer-de-lance, 3rd deadliest snake on the planet, missed by about 10 feet
- scorpions in my clothes, monkeys in my room
- 19km round trip hike to a 100ft waterfall, accessible only when tides are timed correctly
- constant peace and relaxation on the private beach

So ya, it was friggin awesome...went to Montezuma after, heard good things but foun out that this so-called hippie town is just a big ole tourist trap, spent 3 days there and have now found another version of personal paradise in Malpais/Santa Teresa...staying at a hostel for 10bucks a night, free pncakes in the a.m., 5 min walk to surfing on a huge ass beautiful beach...planned on travelling all over the Nicoya peninsula but can see no reason to leave this place, will probably be here for the next two weeks just chillin and surfin my friggin brains out...

Anyshit, peAce to all and i will see you in a month...outty...
