Costa Rica pt 2

Just a quick update...

Jeff and I are in the town of Tamarindo on the Nicoya Peninsula. This town has been taken over by tourism and condominiums, so the vibe is pretty different from what we´ve seen before. But we´re in a fairly nice hotel that has air conditioning, which is good, because it´s super hot here. On most days we head to the beach with our surfboards in the morning to some surfing and sunning, then have some lunch, sleep for awhile, check out the town, eat, sit around, read, watch tv, and generally be lazy for the rest of the afternoon. I´ve discovered that surfing at sunset is pretty sweet. There are usually nice waves and the view is top notch. Being New Year´s Eve, we hope to see some fireworks on the beach tonight. Anyway, the plan is to stay here a few more days, then head up north for the last bit of the trip, probably at a bay right by the Nicaraguan border where there is good windsurfing and a nice beach. Next Wednesday we come back to Tamarindo in order to catch a flight on a small plane to San Jose on Thursday, then travel through Atlanta, Minneapolis, Regina and ending up in Saskatoon on Friday. So... only one more week left, which seems kind of crazy.

See ya,

Nolan
