First HD video!

We've decided to stay at Surf Casitas for the rest of our stay here. Ugo gave us a good deal, and in light of him saving our bag when we first got here, we feel more than happy to be giving him more business. He was pleased too.

Ugo's 3 rental casitas are surrounded by mango trees, and he told us that monkeys will be coming round more and more as the fruit have ripened. He finds this a nuisance and is planning to have the fruit cut down. The monkeys come, take a few bites, from a mango, and toss it to the ground. In previous years he has seen his property littered with decomposing fruit and wants to prevent that from happening again. Amber and I woke up one morning to hear rustling in the trees just above our casita. We caught 2 monkeys come in for a feed. Check it out.



Very cool how the LUMIX can take HD videos, however the Wifi internet connect here isn't the best and took me 15-20 minutes to upload 'monkey friends.'

We are sending out numerous job applications to schools in Japan for their august/september intake this week. It would be ideal to have work waiting for us by the time we leave Costa Rica. Also, our trip around Europe will take much detailed planning as well, so we actually have quite a lot to do over the next few weeks.

  1. Love the video! That is really cool, are the monkeys dangerous, will they bite if you get too close?

  2. Thanks! We haven't tried getting any closer and don't think it's a good idea since we don't have access to proper medical care and did not get vaccinated for rabies from our travel doctors. You should've seen the balls on the male one. Jeepers.
