Manuel Antonio parte 2

So here is an extentsion to the first post. Here are some pictures of the monkeys that I saw. You have to see them too.

Almost over

Okay my readers, had the most fabulous weekend in Manuel Antonio Beach. It was a 4 hour bus ride but well worth the trip. Saw many monkeys. They are sooo cute, especially when they try to take your stuff off of the beach. We had a racoon and monkey work in cahoots to steal our food, but only managed to take our new bag of chips. They definitly had a party somewhere!! Saw some sloths and a huge lizard. It is hard to believe that I have been here 5 weeks. What a great experience. I will put up some pictures of the hotel where we stayed. Oh yea went with my roomates nice girls!! And the beach and of course some monkeys.

one week left

Wow I can not believe that we only have one more week left!! Wow how time flys!! Well we are off tommorow and we are going to Manuel Antonio National Park where the beaches are fabulous and there are monkeys hanging around. We leave tomorrow morning bright and early 6 am to get to Manuel Antonio in 3 hours. Looking forward to some relaxation and beach time.


Bueno no puedo creer que ya tengo 4 semanas aqui, y solamente falta una!! El tiempo vuela!! No tenemos escuela manana y vamos para Manuel Antonio a la playa. Escuche que hay monos por donde quiera!! Espero tomar muchas fotos!!

Ziplining at Arenal

Well I am back from a nice long weekend in La fortuna Costa Rica, ziplining and seeing the volcano. all was well except we took 10 hours to get there instead of 2 1/2, the stupid bus driver told us the wrong bus!! Lucky for us my roommate just happen to check out the map and found out we were going the wrong way!! We got off one bus and then rode another. Got to La fortuna at 3 pm.

Bueno estoy contenta de haber regresado bien a San Jose de La fortuna donde fui a ver el volcan y hacer canopy (ziplining). Muy divertido, tambien fuimos a las aguas termales muy rico!! Faltan 2 semanas!!
