Playa Montezuma

Hi hi!!! First of all, thanks for your comments!! I like coming down to the internet cafe when I think people are actually reading. :)

So, the canopy tour was AMAZING. Seriously. We went on the "Original" canopy tour. (They have a place in Jamaica, too, Blaze!!) It included climbing a rotted out tree and two rappels. I got some outstanding pics...One of the tour guides called himself the paparazzi and took pics with my camera the whole time. :) Big fan of him...haha!

So, that night, we had pizza and wine....and went to bed at 8. No kidding. haha... Sooo tired. We caught an express bus (aka air cond minivan) to Montezuma. It was about 6 hrs including van to Puntarenas then ferry over then another van to Montezuma. Montezuma is so amazing we dont think were going to go anywhere else... Can you believe it?! It's a little beach town the locals call "Montefuma" (*and then make a motion like they're smoking*) hahahaha.. It's full of young people, beach bums and surfers...and has a rep for the best night life in the peninsula.

We rode the express shuttle with a couple from Ireland, a couple from Rome, and a couple from Chicago. We've all become awesome friends and hit up the bar/outdoor dance club last night. I went to bed long before Aaron who was having some male bonding time trying to drink the Irishman drink for drink.. (*brilliant idea...right*) hahahaha.. Also met an awesome girl named Kat who works for an organic magazine in AZ. She and I danced the night away and the three of us (her, me and Aaron) are about to hike the waterfalls...Jury's still out if she's as awesome sober. Ill let you know...haha.

We ended up TRYING to hike one yesterday in flip flops (not realizing how far it was) and I totally rolled my ankle.. hot.. haahaha.. Speaking of, we're taking pics of all my injuries as we go. It's funny.. At the lowest waterfall, I wanted to be brave and climb up like Aaron had (which is incredibly hard with the water spraying in your face). I did it, but cut my leg quite nicely..haha.. Whatever...I was so proud of myself though...

On a funny note, I still have problems with the money conversion... like MAJOR problems. I bought a necklace from a street guy last night...When I showed Aaron (proudly), he was like "uh you just paid 30 bucks for that..." Eh well.. I'm contributing to the local artists.. (whatever)

Our little hotel is 60 bucks per night....has a tv and a/c! And they own the resort (ylang ylang) so we get in there for free and get to use the pool, etc.... Our little group is all meeting for a happy hr there later...

And oh...the waves are friggin TALL..I mean... tallest I've ever seen in person. My photos will never do this place justice and I never thought I'd say that. The rip tide is insane so not lots of swimming but lots of "look at me... I'm in the wave...no...I'm drowning!" haha...
