Well it’s been awhile, so let me see it I can get everything caught up.
I finished my time in Costa Rica in late April. During my time there, besides attending language school, I had some really great experiences and opportunities.
Besides meeting some really neat “Ticos”, which is what they call the national’s, I was able to see lots of what makes Costa Rica so special. One of those special places was a live volcano – Arenal. During the night you could see the lava shoot out of the top and flow down the side.
I also had the thrill of going zip-lining – flying through the canopy’s of trees along a series of cables about 100-150 ft in the air.
Yee-Haw!!!!!!!!
The most exciting thing was the SCUBA class. I’ve always wanted to SCUBA dive, but living in Arkansas and trying to get certified was way to expensive. The opportunity arose in Costa Rica that was within my budget and I jumped all over it. Besides my certification dives, I was able to go on a real dive trip that included 4 different dives.
WOW!!!!!! What an awesome experience! I came face to face with a real shark and still have all of my appendages!
A lot of you asked about the living situation in Costa Rica because of the high crime rate. Well, here are
some pictures of my house.
Check out the razor-wire along the top of the steel bar fence.
Backyard - check out the broken glass bottles on the top of the wall. Now that’s real security! The back yard was only about 8 ft deep and the walls are all shared by neighbors.
So, I left Costa Rica for Uruguay on April 23rd, with an eight hour layover in Panama City, Panama.
Well, I’ve always wanted to see the Panama Canal!
Another really awesome experience. Not only did I get to see a boat lock through, but it was a cruise ship and the largest type of boat they will let pass.
I also was able to spend some time in the old part of Panama City.
The Bridge of the America’s is what keeps the two American continents from drifting to far apart.
I didn’t know that!
I made it back to the airport in about 20 minutes before my flight left. Thanks goodness they didn’t make me take my shoes off going through security! I barely made my flight, but it was a great 8 hours!
Thanks to Kenny and Cheryl Morris, IMB couple in Panama, for spending their day taking me to all the great sights!
