Hello everyone! Tuesday, was Dia de los Niños, which is day to celebrate young children (younger than 15 yrs). And of course we had a piñata with lots of candy! Every celebration they have them. Every Tuesday, at my house all of my family comes over which is around 25 people! They sure love their piñatas! School is going good of course and everyday we have been working a big mural project together for next Monday, because it is Costa Ricas Independence Day! Im excited that Im going to be here for a holiday so I can experience how they celebrate holidays and see their parades too. Today, we had a mini lesson on fruits that are special to Costa Rica. We even got to try a bunch of the fruits! And this weekend Im going ... read more

Well, since writing my last blog about leaving for Arenal I met a couple of people in the hostel who convinced me to go to Montezuma with them so I had an early night and got up for 5:30am and caught the bus. It was an easy but long journey. Definately worth it though, we had a great adventure in the sleepy town. Treking through the jungle to see the waterfalls, when we finally reached it the rain came down hard. We struggled to make it back as we lost the trail. It was quite dangerous sliding down the banks and landing on the rocks at the bottom next to the river but we came out alive so we were still smiling. Montezuma is just 2 streets on the beach with a very laid back feel ... read more

Arriving in Costa Rica always feels like returning home. My 11th time was not much different. I arrived late from Honduras and Jorge picked me up. After, a crazy night of drinking I headed to Montezuma. Spent two weeks here in Montezuma just hanging out and sleeping, reading, and of course a little bit of partying. I got to hang out with Sasha and Molly. We had a great time visiting Santa Theresa and Tambor and just hanging out. Super cool people. Thanks guys for the great time! It was such a pleasure to meet you l look forward to hanging out in the future. For Christina's bday we headed to a Hilton all inclusive resort in Costa and had a great time. It was $60.00 a night and that included a pimping room, all you ... read more

Montezuma stand im Zeichen der Erholung. Wir lagen viel am Strand und in der Haengematte, machten einen Besuch bei einem Wasserfall, wo wir auch ein bisschen plantschten (?). Ausserdem starteten wir hier unsere Surf-Karriere. Mauricio weihte uns in die Geheimnisse des Boardens ein. Wir stellten uns auch gar nicht so ungeschickt an. Doch nach den 2 Stunden waren wir streichfaehig und sehnten uns nach der Haengematte. Wie es sich fuer echte Surfer gehoert werden wir uns gleich morgen in ein Tattoo-Studio begeben. Haben uns schon was nettes ausgesucht :), damit wir fuer die groesste links-brechende Welle der Welt eine gute Figur machen. Wir haben jetzt doch ein Auto gemietet und fahren kommende Woche Richtung Golfito und dem Regenwald der Oesterreicher. img=http://img6.travelblog.org/Phot... read more

Life is beautiful... Here are some updated pics of life in Montezuma! Steph and I are just loving living here. At the moment Codi, Steph's best friend from home, is also living with us for a month or so (love you girl), we are also living with 2 guys, Lucas and Jerry. We recently moved into a new pad right by the beach, it is so NICE. Clean, with aircon, TV, a balcony, beach view... and clean... the whole clean factor was a big one for Steph and I after living in the ghetto (there are pics of the old place on here at the start of this page. it looks ok but trust me it wasn't... a shower that was a pipe that jutted out of the wall, and only cold water, which when it ... read more
