I realize it has been awhile since we updated the blog, for anyone anxiously awaiting a post, I apologize. In any case, a lot has happened in the last month. It is hard to believe that we are going on two months in Costa Rica. Our time seems to be flying by as we are all busy with jobs and travel around the Nicoya Peninsula. Things are really picking up quickly in Nosara as Christmas is right around the corner. High season has officially begun and the sleepy surfing village of Nosara is suddenly full of vacationers from the U.S and Europe.
Everyone's surfing skills have improved markedly in the last few months. Our 7am surf sessions seem to be paying off. We recently rented a car and drove to Tamarindo for a long weekend. The drive took two hours due to poorly maintained roads and multiple river crossings along the way. We managed to find some great surfing spots and a lively night life. We were surprised to find a large number of Europeans in Tamarindo and relatively few Americans. After our weekend was over, the four of us decided to take better advantage of our time in Costa Rica and do more traveling.
Scott is back in the states for Christmas and the rest of us are busy at our jobs for the busiest two weeks of the season. In January, Alex (Spanish) plans to go to Brazil to visit a friend from Bucknell. Scott, Michael (Tonto) and I are looking forward to a trip to Nicaragua. We plan to visit some volcanoes in the middle of a giant lake. The island is supposedly beautiful.
Needless to say, we are meeting some interesting people who call Nosara their home. I am sure we will meet plenty of others before we leave on April 30th. We recently attended a local rodeo in an adjacent town. It was fun to hang out with the Ticos (Costa Ricans) and share some of their culture. I was supposed to ride in a parade during the rodeo, unfortunately it did not work out and the same day my camera was stolen. So now I have no pictures to post.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone who has planned a trip here in the coming months and we are always happy to have more. So if you are looking for some sun and surf, let us know. For the mean time, keep checking in, we will get some pictures up as soon as possible.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy New Year!!
