We made it to COsta Rica!



We made it to Costa Rica and it's SO So Beautiful!! The coolest place I've ever seen! We live in the middle of the jungle and are about a min 1/2 walk from the beach. Playa Guinoes, the surfing beach, is about a 25 min walk down the beach. You come out of this huge jungle to an incredible coastline. It's so rad here! We are renting a vacation home and it's a nice really private lot and has a swimming pool that saves us (the ocean is so warm and rarely refreshing). Costa Rica is Hott!! We live in the city of Nosara where paved roads don't exist, which means not much else does. We have a little market across the street with a restaurant attached that serves little purpose to us, all their food has a super foul taste and smell. It's weird. We can't quite figure out why and where it comes from but the next market is about 3 miles away and in between are some homes hidden homes and nothing else really exists in this city.
Howling monkeys live in the trees around our home, iguanas on the roof, gnarly crabs with neon orange legs, blue backs, and yellow eyes like to cruise in the jungle, supposably crocodiles (we haven't seen any yet), scorpions, cockroaches (the death of me) and other little critters live about. Our typical day consists of surfing 1 or 2 times, watching a lot of the office, phase 10, chris playing music, a LOT of relaxing time, some skyping usually, and whatever else comes our way. The sun sets at 5:30 so we are finding interesting things to entertain us. Somehow we thought it'd be nice to have a maid but then we have to handwash all our clothes. Not that cool after all! We love it here its so awesome and a lot of fun!! It's really different and quite the adventure so far. I'm so happy I get to be here another two months with Chris! Thank you Costa Rica for being so good to us!
