Well, I'm back in Utah. And there is snow on the bloody ground! Must say that it seems strange to have a sunburn and sandals on in the dead of Utah winter. Now I understand why Dad and Laurie were so ticked to be back home!
I realize that I skipped the last few days on the blog, sorry about that. Christmas in Costa Rica was great, although it didn't feel like Christmas, but just another balmy day. We were in Monteverde that day and started out by ziplining through the Costa Rican jungle and then I went rappelling (again!) that afternoon. I pretty much almost died while repelling, and that's a story for the books. Think virgin waterfalls, one small rope, with the on-belay having the age of 14. Yeah, a bit too scary for me.
The beaches at Manuel Antonio (Quepos) ended my trip. Three days of rest, relaxtion, and a lot of fruit batidos (smoothies)! Manuel Antonio is a national reserve, so it is preserved forest and beach on the Pacific side of the country. I prefer this to the carribean side, if only because it's slightly less humid, and less marijuana infested. Saw a lot of monkeys in Manuel Antonio, including a pissed off White Faced Cappuchin who threw a small coconut at a tourist who was giving him grief. Listen, when you start shaking the branches the monkeys are on, I say you deserve being thumped in the head by a primate!
Got home last night at 6pm, after a 12 hour travel day through Denver. All things considered, the travel wasn't horrible. I'm bringing back a nasty cold and a blaring sunburn, but am very happy to have gone.
The next few days will requiring adjusting!
