Fahrenheit 151

Im sorry I have been gone for so long, but things have been crazy down here. In the last few days I have been all over Costa Rica. Here is a list of the things I did:



  • Visited Arenal Volcan


o This is the view from outside our room (you could see the glow at night)




  • Rode Horses


What more could you ask for: horses, jungle, fast riding and a chafed butt.




  • Sat in hot springs, from varying temperatures all the way up to 151 degrees (I went all the way under, have you ever felt you skin cooking? bc I have). Surpising fact, safety features which are seen in the US, not an issue on water slides in Costa Rica like getting airborn for like ten feet.

  • Went and swam in a waterfall
Two hundred feet of strait rocks and water and mucho frio agua



  • Went to Hydro Electric Plant


Bad idea letting me touch the equipment (we lost power for two hours)




  • Went on a boat ride


Amazing, the hills and time off were fun, though this time they did not let me touch stuff...




  • Went to the cloud forest and walked in the rain forest (they are called that for a reason) *Editors note: it rains all the time in the rain forest
  • Cloud Forest for a reason
  • Watched birds, or the lack there of

  • Visited Manuel Antonio to see monkeys in the trees and gators in the waterSweet place
  • I hate the gators and anything SEC related
  • Surfed in the Pacific: Sorry no pics because I dont have a waterproof camera, but it was sweet
  • Saw some crazy things from my class mates: Bob did it

  • Had the worst 5 hour bus ride of my life: no pics because I want to forget it and punch our travel agent in the face

This is just a condensed list of what happened up until yesterday. I am feeling a little under the weather so Ill let the pictures do the talking. Peace for now homies. Quote of the day: Get in the Fucking Van!
