Well today was awsome I started the day with a whole bunch of people from the hostel We went out for some amazing coffee then we packed up the truck people litterly piled on the truck and off we went to the beach! I broke i'n my new hammock while the guts broke i'n there new coconut bochie set ($3 for the set and you can drink them after the game) it ws great the waves were a lot of fun! Then I went to start making some more jewelry to sell tomorrow when a family pic niking next to me started checking out my stuff they bought 18$ worth of my things! I was stoked I didn't even Ihave to try make sales they randomly came to me! They are from San jose and tomorrow I'm meeting up with them to give them two brackets for their grand children!

Well I have spent a lot of time here but really I am going to miss it here! I'm really stoked to be on my way as well I'm on the buss to San Jose. tomorrow I am hopefully meeting up with Christian depending If he gets his stand by flight today. Since the last time I wrote I guess I should update I'n no particular order we did a sushi rolling party it was great britt was Rollin like a mad woman 20 sushi rolls or so! Another night we were just chillin and all of a sudden we hear a high pItch scream I had no idea what it was brItt and j told me it was a baby sloth crying for It's mom! So we went with Melly a cool German girl to search for them and have them reunted we looked for a long time around for the both of them with our flash lights high and low but the baby stopped crying and the mom stopped whistling so after an hour and a bit of hearing nothing we decided that nature ran it's course and they found eachother on their own... While on the hunt we ran into a possum climbing a palm tree it was crazy! I went out to cahuita national park twice once with milly and we had guides that showed us so many animals that we wouldent have seen on our own there were so many sloths monkIes (howler and whIte faced) we saw a viper I think it was an eyelash vIper. some really stupid woman kept sticking her camera i'n the snakes face and all of us were freaking out because they are once of Costa ricas deadlest snake if it bites you... You have one hour to get to hospital until you die and it's a horrible death one organ at a time... But she kept going taking photos of it sticking her cane in to move the leaves she was nuts! Then we saw some tree frogs and an iguana the size of half of me and that was just his body his tail was probably bigger than his body! It was half dinosaur theres no doubt i'n my mind. And there were raccoons that are about half the size of the ones back home they are very skinny then another day i went down to the park with harry he's a chill kid from austrialla we found the biggest coconut ever! Then he cut it open with his pocket knife it was really hard I really was wishing I had my machete. Then we finally got it open and it was hands down the best coconut ever we both agreed and we have both had many coconuts the flesh was perfect! Then we saw an old oil rig from 1901 it was pretty ghetto and random that it was i'n a national park. Another day britt j and I went into lemon it was crazy me and britt went off on our own to go check out the city and we were like celeberitys... The only white chicks i'n town we had a guy that was holding another girls hand say hey babes we were so grossed out any guy 10-70 was hitting on us it got really old really fast. However there's this cave i'n the middle of town and it's a market but when your i'n there it's like your i'n an underground world. Really cool kinda creepy. Other than that it was a pretty dirty city not somewhere to be at night. I went out snorkeling a few more times. And checked out a wonderful waterfall with Tom who is a guy from virgina he drove his car down! It was so beautiful we both agreed it was the real costa rica! It was about two stories high and the power of the water when your standing under it is amazing... the best massage ever! We also checked out punta Uva again yesterday with Harry and Tom it was a wonderful day! Now I am i'n San Jose I'm at a cool hostel with great people but the city itself is not nice it's very busy and dirty. However today I went to butterfly land and it was great so many different kinds! I will post photos when I get to a computer I can load them on.
