What an emotional roller-coaster its been yesterday and today!
We're here in Uvita (southern part of Costa Rica on the west coast). Booked into Cascada Verde which I had researched back in Wellington. The atmosphere of this place feels more like a meditation or yoga retreat.. actually it is. Anyway, it's very rustic. Different from all the other accommodation we've stayed in so far. I can hear the crickets all around us that serve as a constant reminder that we are in the forest.
Just got back from a surf on Dominical beach. Was pretty rad. Oh and I've bought a new surfboard! It's a mini-mel 7.4 footer, blue stripe down t
he middle and looks sweeet. Definately a cool looking board - now just have to look cool on it!
I wish I had a functioning camera to take it with to show you, but our brand new Panansonic Lumix, which was meant to be "shockproof" and "waterproof." Jumped into the pool at our last lodge back at Jaco to take underwater pictures of the both of us and the screen started to flutter. #^%#. Our travel insurance covers it, BUT there are no camera shops where we are! No photos for awhile. Sorry. However, here are the last of what the Lumix has churned up.
It's 7:19pm now, Amber's just out of shower and we're spending tonight planning our next 3 days down here before we head into yet another new territory that is Monteverde! Amber's got that job as a substitute Kindy teacher at Cloud Forest school. Oooo. Teachers here are paid next to nothing, but this certainly gives us a foot in the door and close to free accommodation! (US$60 for 2 weeks). Bargain! We're taking it and staying in Monteverde until the teacher gets back from the US.
