We're in Costa Rica after 5 days on the Caribbean side in Panama on Bocas del Torro Island (rained on every 3 hrs. and just dumping rain!) and then 9 days on the Pacific side of Panama at Santa Catalina (beautiful, surf was in, Brazilions came by the 6-pack, and rained on us 4 times there and again, dumping rain with lightning added for effect!). We went to Pavones, then onto the Osa Peninsula, saw coati group of 15 running by the road with their funny way of holding their tails upright, more Morpho butterflies, lots and lots of scarlet mackaws, saw some cupuchins so close that I could see the expression on their cute little faces. From the Osa, we went to visit our friend Brain Skinner, who lives around Dominical. We stayed in the area for 3 nights, but finally, the trash strewn beach bummed us out enough to move on. Let us say, we just love Uncle Brian!
From there we looked up our friends the Smileys, Dorian and Angelina. Well, were we ever surprised to see that Angelina has been cooking something up for the past 34 wks. A baby named Coral, and we can't wait to see pix on their blog when she comes! We got the privilege of celebrating Angelina's birthday with her! Yay!
We are hoping to do a major shop in Jaco (5 min. drive away) and then the ferry from Punta Arenas to the Nicoya Peninsula for some surf on Sun. Mon. Tues. and then some pretty places beyond! We are having so much fun on this part of the trip. We are hoping to be in Guatemala City sometime in mid. March and then home for tax day. Not sure if that will completely work out like that, but we are hoping.
Peace and health to everyone who reads this!
