Well we're leaving the beach tomorrow after a little over a week soaking up the rays. I'm currently in tamarindo with will, karin, and lucelena. For a group of strangers (all students except lucelena who teaches English) we get along great and have become very close. I loved the surfing here. The waves are great for the beginner but at the same time satisfying for the novice surfer. We also went on a nature trip and saw monkeys, porcupines, crocodiles and a plethora of birds.

The hacienda is really cool, kind of like a backpacker's resort, with horse rental, kayaks, mountain bikes, volunteer opportunities, Spanish classes available, and .... a real luxury in Central America .... breakfast and dinner buffets. I ... read more

Hi to all, I know that it has been a while since i have written but i have been quite busy here. The past few days have been very 'cultural' for me. On Monday we went to a place where there was live Arabic music accompanied by a few belly dancers. The place had the ambiance of an old jazz bar lit with few lites and covered with art that only those with an open mind can interpret. I had a few Belgium beers there and with 8.8 percent alcohol i could say that if i didn´t stop iI'msure i would have ended up being one of those belly dancers. Yesterday we went to a Lebanese where they can 'read your coffee it was similar to palm reading but different because the owner of the restaurant ... read more
