Surfing, Monkeys, and Enjoying the scenery

Its the sky not phenomenal?

Hey look! Its a DT in the pink. The guy owns a long board surf shop right off of this beach.

Priceless little sunburned family walking the beach.

All that black stuff? Bon fires every night on the beaches here. Lots of logs and drift wood everywhere.

Dang it was big out and hairy out there today. Lots of WASH!

Great Moon!

Keith caught this Gecko taking a dump! LOL

I know, the wave isn't impressive, but hey, its still a 7'4" surfboard!

Outside was messing and kicking our butts.

Our neighbors just 10-20 feet from our deck. How cool is that?

Got some surf pics for you, but we didn't want to go out in the massive outer surf area with the camera so you'll get the little inside ones instead. Surf was over head to double over head sets today on the outside. Freaked Keith out when a wave caught him and took him all the way in on his belly. Poor thing shore breaks were killing him paddling out. Me, took me forever to get on an outside wave.

We saw monkeys in our trees right outside our deck. going to u-tube the footage and post some pics too if it'll let me.

Really miss you guys, can't wait to get back to my old surf spot and my surf buddies. I know Ivan and Mike are having a blast in the Philippines, but miss them too.

Asta Manana!

In search of Souvies!

Well, we awaken to some pretty amazing sights and sounds here. Some pretty large sounding monkeys howling in the distance. Its another beautiful day here in Santa Teresa. As far as souvenirs well, not sure how lucky we're gonna get with those around here unless you're into rasta stuff and surfing stuff. Not much selection here. In fact, there wasn't much selection up in the rain forest area either, some small candies, which we didn't get, Doh! And we won't be spending any time back there before we fly out. Maybe today, we'll go on a search for somethings in small towns. I can't even bring you guys back shells as its prohibited to take any from the beaches here. which is why, they still have so much of it. LOL unlike Hawaii.

The days are warm, just getting to the dry "dusty" season. Like I said, ATVs and dirt bikes rule here, but I can't say that I envy them, cuz, we are nice and cool in our mini SUV, Manual, car, which pretty much gets us around town, carries our boards, holds our stuff and keeps us out of the dust wind storms as everyone dashes around town. You can't imagine how bad the roads are here. Just driving through town, you're lucky if you can get up to 20 kph. Its like bouncing a child on your lap. Crazy. The good thing is that no one gets upset or bent out of shape, its so lax here, Tranquilo "relax". Pura Vida is really lived around her, the pure life.

This week is passing by nice and slow, for a change, not rushing around trying to get anywhere. I even wake at 5 am cuz my surf alarm clock goes off, but we usually don't get outta here until about 8, well, sometimes later as its almost 8:30 and we're still on our computers.

Andy, our host, is a cool guy, surfer from CA, spends part of his time here, in Tahoe and Hawaii. If you ever come here, this really is a great place to stay, lots of room, privacy and all different kinds of surf boards at your disposal. I'm starting to get used to Ceramic floors, hmm. Hell not, not going through all that again. LOL enough renovations already. Still waiting on my bathroom door and gotta put stuff away. Sorry gang, it will get done when it gets done. :)

I finally found Jimmy and Brandon's t-shirts! Yeah. I gotta be careful because weight limitations, not mine silly, LOL, but on the baggage in inter-Costarican flights are strict, so we are trying to keep things light.



Pura Vida! Will post more later. Hope you are all having a great day and are well.
