    You know, it’s just a widdy biddy little active volcano. So are you impressed by these pictures? Probably not. But everyone that was at the Arenal viewpoint that night were, because I’m pretty sure it’s the only point and shoot that could get even a glimmer of the magnificent lava show. So just for y’all [...]

    Jeep>Bus>Ferry>Bus>NewBusThatWouldn’tBreakDown and finally, after about 8 hours of travel, made it to La Fortuna, an jungle-lined town at the base of one of Costa Rica’s active volcanoes, Volcan Arenal. I arrived at the hostel minutes before the front desk closed for the night, and believe it or not, there was only one bed left with [...]

    After making and breaking a Panamanian novia del dia and surviving the most terrifying nights in a ‘hostel’  (more like a cinderblock room full of bugs and ghosts), we hopped on the bus to Santa Teresa, a surf town gone gringo up the coast from Montezuma. The week was full of surfing, card playing, and [...]

    We created an elaborate feast. Finally, I’ve found more people in the world who can live off chips and dips. Big pours from Brett Brian’s gang taught me all about the important things one learns in Medical School, i.e. more drinking games. Challenged some Canadians to flip cup. Won. You learn a lot about someone [...]

      Ok, yeah– the monkeys are cute. It seems like all they do is chill and hang upside down in trees and generally be interesting to look at. They are an integral part of Costa Rica’s natural charm, and will stay that way for a long time. But no matter how much you want to [...]

    I REPEAT: Do NOT feed the monkeys.

    After 2 weeks in Montezuma, I felt it time to move on. My original plan was to volunteer for a week at Rainsong, an organization run by a crazy American woman geared towards saving injured or orphaned animals of the area. Many of these animals have lost their family and have been raised by humans [...]

    That’s right folks, I did it. 2 weeks of surfing I can put on my ‘Awesome Resume.’ Why is it awesome? Not why you may think. No, I wasn’t attempting to earn cool points, or be an extra in Point Break 2… it is because I am absolutely terrified of the ocean. Last year, I [...]

    yeah, I surf. So what?

    ..took some pictures. These hilarious half-humans are all over this place, and this morning on my walk back from surfing I was lucky enough to come across a whole troop of them! Miran!

    found some monkeys…
