I haven't posted on this in a long time for several reasons, two of the biggest being:
1. Terrible internet in Curridabat in general.
2. 5 days in Nicaragua

I have a lot to say and a lot of pictures to put up so this will definately happen in installments.

So, on Saturday the 13th at 6am we packed up the car and began our drive to Nicaragua. We have to leave the country every three months; the process to get student visas requires, apparently, a country stay of more than 6-8 months, so we leave every 90 days when the passport tourism visa runs out. This out of country trip was to Nicaragua to go to a beach, camp, and learn how to surf. We had two people that are not usually with us along to teach os surfing, Dunia (i have no idea if thats how you spell it) and Carlos. They were both really nice.
The drive was supposed to take 6 hours. It ended up being more like 13- and the border crossing took more than 3 hours. We declined an offer to bribe the officials who check the cars, and it was our belief that that set us back at least an hour.
When we finally got to the beach it was far too dark to see anything and we set up tents and went to sleep amongst huge amounts of crabs, hermit and regular.
I woke up at 4am to the evilest noise i have ever heard on my life. I was in a tent by myself in the dark in a rainforest in Nicaragua. But then i remembered howler monkeys, and i convinced myself that that was what it was. When we woke up the next morning one of the boys put it the most accurately- "I heard satan this morning."
I am in no way exaggerating.

I will begin Sunday tomorrow.
