I've been in Jaco since Monday. My friend Tara is studying in a Spanish school here so I've been hanging out with her and her classmates in the evenings. It's been nice to see a familiar face as I've been homesick this week. I think it's all of this moving around. Packing and unpacking so often is starting to wear on me. I find myself daydreaming of all things domestic...kitchens, the same bed and strangely enough even a garden, which I've never had. I think it's just the routine lover in my trying to get back out. So I think after checking out a few more pacific coast towns, I'll settle in one place for a few weeks and maybe take some more Spanish classes.
Jaco is OK. I don't like it as much as Samara, where I spent time earlier this year. It's a bit more developed, a little bigger, more tourists...and not as beautiful or charming. However, I went to Playa Hermosa yesterday which is a beach 5 km South. It was so beautiful. I forgot my camera so no pictures. It is a black sand beach, so lovely. The waves there are big and apparently 'world class'. So I obviously didn't try surfing there, but just had lunch at a restaurant on the beach and read my book.
Tomorrow I am going to visit Manuel Antonio National Park for 2 days, so I hope to have some great pictures for my next posting. Ciao!

Hi Cori, It's Amy Burrell. I'm speechless. Two reasons: feeling sad that we haven't keep in touch and second not being able to talk to you or see you before you left for your amazing journey. I'm jealous that I never had the courage, or knowlegde to do something like this. I'm happy for you. I hope you find what you are looking for and better yet enjoy every minute of this journey. Your living life to the fullest!!! I love you and I will be checking in on you. If you can leave me a comment on my page. I would love to hear from you. Be careful and have FUN!!!! Amy
