Blog Pasta

There´s just no way I can recap all that I´ve been up to, so I´m not even going to try. Sorry, folks. I´m just not motivated to write everything down, it´s so time consuming! Actually, I guess it would be more accurate to say I´m not motivated to write ANYTHING down, since I haven´t updated this dinosaur for almost 2 months! Here´s what I´ve been up to:
Jumping off waterfalls in Montezuma
Surfing in Malpais
Mountain Biking and Bouldering in Boquete
Zip lines, rope swings, and hanging bridges in Monteverde Cloud Forest
Ridiculous partying and bachanalia in Puntarenas during Carnival
Slack lining and soccer juggling for Puntarenas sunsets
Hilarious jam sessions with the Puntarenas crew (ukulele, mess kit, pringles cans, voices, etc.)
Lots of busses
Eating Casados, a cheap, delicious, filling local dish of rice, beans, meat, and salad, $3.00
Eating lots of fresh fruit
24 hours of pooping every 15 minutes (not fruit related)
Dancing in clubs and some more random places
Practicing Spanish with lots of locals
Monkey watching and iguana dodging in Manuel Antonio National Park
Snorkeling, tanning, and surfing in Bocas del Toro
Dipping in Hot Springs in Boquete
Coffee tour of, literally, the best coffee in the world. 3 times international gold medal winner. Tastes pretty good. Coffee!!!
Learning how to keep in touch with my friends. Still learning.
Hacking (the sport, not the cough), eating tuna, reading, visiting gardens, exploring, hiking, experimenting with super cheap cooking, torturing a cat (training, we call it), growing a mustache, and I´m burnt out on trying to remember more.
Gotta run, I´ve got a Dutch card game to try and learn. I´ll update more later. If you´re reading this, that means you care about me. Thank you! Much love to all, even those who aren´t reading this and don´t care about me.

hola mi amigo...wow! no wonder you're not writing...i'm hoping to get in more hiking and kayaking and canoeing once i'm in the swing of things (and the snow goes away and the sun comes out!) In the mean time I can just feel jealous of you and your adventures in tropical paradise. I feel like I've gone back in time...Maine is somethin else I tell ya what...I'm gonna be a teacher! and look- i care about you:)
