xcrament

if time and my patience werent already running thin i might try and figure out why all the images are different sizes and what not

Day 1

Running into to this gang on a back road from the airport is a great way to start a vaca

dropped of our crap and straight to the local beach

it was crowded

a view from our patio with an evening storm a brewing

DAY 2

according to a local you can jump off if you know “where to land” because it is pretty shallow but since no one else was doing it I didnt want to search for the landing zone the hard way

he was local but didnt know either

3 years of spanish didnt teach me what this Iphone app did in seconds

hike down to another busy beach

rescued this beached little guy. he was moving but not getting far

poolside sunset from home

DAY 3

Filadelfia

traffic

Playa Grande

posted up

staked my claim

if im stranded on a deserted island and can only have one survival item i would like a straw

Local Surfer owned Taco stand on the beach had critters on the roof

but security kept a close eye on them

we decided to head back to a local beach and ended up spending the afternoon with this Fam of Howler monkeys

Clearly the male

Mother and child

ever hear one?

Day 4

one the road early to the  Arenal volcano. This is Lake Arenal

a view from Cafe Macadamia. Best eats on the trip. Stopped on the way in and out.

second time here and yet it still doesnt seem real

we spent the night at the Observatory Lodge at the Base of the Volcano which is active.

jungle hike

had a brief encounter with a small group of Spider Monkeys

finished it off the day with a night at the Tabacon Volcanic Hotsprings. Have been before and will def be there again

DAY 5

Kim insists on going on a Zip Line tour every time. me being the “extreme sports” enthusiast is always happy to oblige

10 cables. some over 3000ft long and almost 1000 ft high. speeds of 40-50mph= FUN

if your form sucks or you bitch out and slow yourself down you get stuck in the middle of the cable like a chump. prepare to be laughed at by seasoned professionals like ourselves

graf for a cause

drove back and watched an amazing storm from a distance

i cant believe my beat up old point and shoot documented this so well

DAY 6

Playa Danta

try and blend in with the locals

Playa Avellanas

dead sea turtle lunch

my charm has the same effect on bitches everywhere

Kimberly plays lifeguard

fruity drinks on Playa Avellanas at Lola’s

passed this operation on the way back

a tree that big falling in a cemetery had to wake the dead

saw this hungry little lady walking the road and immediately pulled over and fed her everything in the car

DAY 7

A day hike at the Rincon de la Vieja National Park

Rincon de la Vieja, the largest volcano in the country’s northwest, comprises a remote volcanic complex in the Guanacaste Range. At least nine eruptive vents are located within a 15-kilometer-wide caldera.

Basically everything was boiling

hot exploding mud pots

came across a group of White Faced Capuchin monkeys

then back to the crowded beach

with friends and babies

mango thief

youngster

i proudly endorse Dihatsu vehicles. we beat the balls of this little buggy once again

waiting for that perfect sunset pic

last night and every night ended in the pool. huge thanks to my cousin Tom and Laurie for the use of their place. anybody who wants to go feel free to contact me and I will pass on their info to you. and Kim and I would be happy to lead guide you on this same type of adventure if the timing is right
