Surf Lessons: BY SURFERS!!!!!!

So it's another exciting San Jose night as we watch the ULatina Bobkat Cheerleaders practice in the hall while waiting for election results to come in. Oh the tropical magic.

Anyways this weekend was a blast. After two weeks we finally got out of San Jose which meant a lot more mountains and trees and a lot less dumping of garbage on the middle of sidewalks. Although that mufflers thing turned out to be an urban legend. So Friday at 630 Am we took a bus to the west coast city of Quepos. A lot of people might wonder why we went there. Mostly it is because this entire trip is to in a large part due to the episode of the Amazing Race where the Gaghan family was eliminated on Quepos's sandy shores. So we decided it was really the right thing to make this the first stop of our little amazing race, and kim much like little Carissa kept running till the very end.
So Quepos was nice. It's pretty small but still cool and relaxed. After tossing stuff at a hostel we went to Manuel Antonio park which is about 7km away. Its a a pretty small park but it has some very nice beaches. Also MONKEYS. We saw two types of monkeys... well three if you count the kim type. hahahahaha That was a joke. Actually Kim made that joke about me while we were there. She can be funny sometimes. Not as funny as me though. But seriously it was great. The coolest one was the Squirrel Monkey which is an endangered species, an endangered species that apparenly didn't want the doritos a spanish guy was trying despretly to feed it. Seriously... he was trying to feed this think like it was what he was born to do.
ALSO WE SAW RACOONS!!!!! I know... its rare and you probably don't believe me but we did.
Actually the coons were eating vegitation and not garbage so it was sort of like a new animal.

The next day we went to a beach just outside of the park that was free and much cooler but had a lower Squirrel monkey population but a larger one of the grease variety. Acutally this beach was pretty nice because as soon as we arrived we rented chairs and an umbrella for cheap and then all these guys in uniforms straight out of the Saved by the Bell beach club episodes started coming up to us with menus trying to sell us daquiris and 1.25 beers on the beach. It was pretty cool cause it made you feel classy like a resort but you didn't have to worry about tipping like at those all inclusive joints.

Later that night we watched an amazing sunset over the pacific at this bar called el Avion. The bar was made out of this US bomber that got shot down with an American pilot inside, while illegally bombing Nicaragua in the eighties, really tipping off the Iran/Contra thing. It was kind of cool. The best part though was when an extremely overwheight guy sat next to us wearing a tank top that read ¨Freedom Isn't Free.¨ I despretly wanted to point the irony of the situation out to him but Kim made me not.
Also i got a sunburn. it sucks.
Kim didn't. I want to write about my sunburn and how i blame it on expired sunblock that exprired Jan 06, but i also bought it in Jan 06 from shoppers in toronto, but kim is saying that if this is too long people wont read it.

Freedom isnt available at the moment
dave and kim.... who probably supports the taliban
