Beach Trip 2010

Hello again. So, this weekend was crazy fun and interesting. We all left San Jose on a Saturday morning at 5:30am for the beach at Manuel Antonio. We got there around 11am where we ate at a local restaurant, Marlin's. They had pretty decent food of which I got a casada and blackberry juice which was VERY good. The fruits were also so delicious. We then went to the beach. The water that surrounds this beach is basically the Pacific Ocean. I've never seen such strong waves as these before. They were almost like mini tsunamis. The rip currents were so strong that they can pull anyone in if they are not careful. Thus, we had many adventures haha. Luckily, no one got into any serious trouble with the waves although there were some close calls. The beach was very pristine and filled with pure sand. The climate was just gorgeous with calm blue skies and crystal-like sun rays. After spending time at the beach, we all just kicked back and relaxed some more until later when some of us went to a night club near the beach.

The next morning we got up to go to another nearby beach where there were iguanas, monkeys, and sloths nearby on trails. These animals were definitely a sight to see along with the pristine waterfall on a nearby route. It was a pleasure to see these clean clear beaches as well and the waves on this day were not so bad although the bottom of the beach was pretty rocky. We then once again just relaxed and told stories until finally we headed back on the bus back home. This is a generalized account for what happened. Pictures will be forthcoming since I am using a combination of others pictures and some of mine that I have. Another week of classes and training where we come! Congrats Nadal and the Spain national soccer team for their successes! Beat Germany!
