Pura Vida!!!

Pura Vida....

Means 'the good life, or we feel okay'
So we are doing okay here in Tamarindo *click on name for link hotel*. And.... we srurvived from the Canopy-trip and a boattour in the mangrove forest's here. I found out that the word "mango" comes from 'mangrove'..... We are enjoying our stay very much and we are doing fine!!! The temperature is in between 28-32 degrees and a littl humid. The muscito's are everywhere... The habitants *also named Tica's* are very very friendly and helpfull people. Overall they speak spanish. For example a breafast cost> 5 Usa, luch 8- and a dinner 12 Usa dollars. Food is okay , and there's plenty kinds of fruits... Yummie.

Our Journey from day to day,
We found a travelagent here , they booked some arrangements because all hotles or lodges where fully booked.......
*Tomorrow we are heading for 2 days to St Elena, thats a small city near the Aranal Vulcano. We hope to see the lava coming out of the mountain....
* After that we visit for 4 days the town 'La fortuna the san carlos' where is the Monteverde Cloud Forest. We might go into the forest and walk over hanging bridges... We also celebrate the old-newyear overthere.
*Nex we are heading for 4 days to Domenical in the south-west of Costa Rica, overthere are also nice calm beaches and NO internet or banks on the following places!
*Last but least we are going for our last 4 days to Manuel Antonio, ...
* Last stop is at the airport hotel in San Jose, where we stay over our last night.
* Again a 24 hours flight back, with a stop in the USA Atlanta, we arrive in Amsterdam..... YEH ... is it cold overthere?

When I am not eaten by the muscito's,*I am all bumby everywhere haha* we return home safely, sunburned and very very relaxed..... Pura Vida!!!!!

Sounds like you are having a wonderful time! I just came back from Den Haag, and that was also wonderful, but not as exciting as you are describing! Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
