Tree Frog

It’s been raining, and I don’t mean a drizzle drizzle type of rain. I mean it rains then it mists then it pours then there’s sun for about 20 mins then...it rains. It is becoming fairly miserable. In a refreshing surprise a tree frog jumped onto the tree in front of me.... read more

Slothfull afternoon

The Hammock city

Lostinmirkwood

I pet my first sloth, J of Rockin Js happened to be clearing up some brush when the little thing fell out of a tree a good 30 feet. I had been up on the Tree house at the time writing in my journal. I unfortunately have no photos of it just video you can see it when I get home. So J and another worker carried it in on a large branch, so that the wild dogs would leave it alone. After release on the tree in the center of reception we had a chance to carefully pet and snap a few photos (amidst warnings of Please don’t use the flash these animals are nocturnal, flash cameras fired away.) within 10 mins the sloth had climbed the entire reception area roof and was back in ... read more

Pura Vida in Samara!!

Samara Beach

Flora

Today is the start of my third week in Samara, a little beach village in the Nicoya Peninsula on the Pacific Coast. We got here during Semana Santa, the week that everyone from the city goes to the coast. Our daily routine consisted of going to the beach during the day and going to the bar in the evening. There is one clothes shop here, two mini markets, two bars and one nightclub, so there's not a whole lot more to do. After 2 days we knew most of the people in the town, so by now we're pretty much locals (well, sort of) We've been snorkelling out by Isla Chora where there's a nice reef. One morning we went kayaking which was very relaxing, until my friend Rachel got caught by a wave and ended ... read more

Jeezze, its been to long my friends! Im having a wonderful time being a dirty hippy at the farm. I work and sweat and paint and talk about mushrooms and pot, take showers only when I want, sleep in hammocks, light nag champa and sage all day and live the fucking good life. Thats what it is, for real. A little carmel colored baby goat has adopted me as his mom or girlfriend. Ive been painting a mandala (a Buddhist prayer wheel) on the inside of the new goat/sheep pen and my little man talks to me all day long! Semana Santa (holy week, the week of Easter) was insane. Over 20 volunteers there for the weekend, so comunal dinner on friday night was outa this world. We did a celebration of the full moon, and ... read more
