this is me with volcan Arenal and a disgusting beard. !update! i finally had enough of it, and bought a razor, i feel younger and have way more confidence.
above is the Celestial River that has a natural chemical that turns the water greenish-blue. very cool
below is Lake Arenal at sunset.
so i have roughly 2 weeks before i start my month long one on one spanish course in San Isidro. goin' to the Carib to see Parque Nacional Tortuguero and the Sloth Sanctuary and check out anything else that i see... hopefully all that will take place in a week or less. then i need to get out of the country because my 90 day visa is up. so im going to go to Panama and see the canal. i only have to stay there for a couple days, then i am allowed back into Costa Rica. i think i will go straight to San Isidro after all that and stay there for a month. that's the plan for now. i was thinking about going straight through Panama and going into Columbia but that would take too much time and cost way to much. i have heard so many good things about Columbia, and i know all you people reading this are saying "Columbia is the most dangerous place right now behind the middle east, there are drug lords and guns... etc." well every single person that i've talked to here has said that when they were in Columbia, it was a beautiful country, the people were very nice and it was safe. Columbia was dangerous years ago, and i'm sure some remote (let me repeat "re-mote") parts of the country still have ex-guerilla fighters, but they're out there in the mountains. i have been looking at some Spanish schools in Columbia, and im thinking about studying abroad there, or somewhere else in south america. chile maybe.
right now i am at a country club near San Jose sipping Imperial and i just ordered a hamburger (my first one since... i can't remember, but i couldn't resist). i guess i can say "life is good."
