kid at heart.....

i returned from jaco early this morning. friday night, i stayed at vista serena in manuel antonio again.... and without fail, i was overwhelmed with the amazing people, atmosphere, and energy.

with the help of some fellow montanans, i made two huge batches of lasagna.....spicy chorizo, mushrooms, all types of local tomato sauces, pastes, and fresh herbs.
the following day was spent at the beach in manuel, working on my spanish with the local surfers...one memorable conversation that i had was with a tico. i asked him why the ticos are so intense when it comes to women.... and he responded with, 'the reason that you think we are so intense is because you are used to your cold american men'.... OUCH!

a group of us headed out saturday night to jaco, a 45 minute drive north of manuel antonio. ROAD TRIP!!!

i had been getting mixed reviews about jaco so i wanted to check it out for myself....
relatively speaking, it is not my favorite place. a little criminal for me.
i did, however enjoy the ocean thoroughly and played in it for hours on end...like kids in a candy shop. tapping into the kid in me is necessary. especially when you have another light hearted kid to play with....
