We surfed all day, inevitably became exhausted, took a nice long nap, and then got up in time to celebrate New Year's... for about an hour. We just made it in time to get to a club 15 minutes before midnight, and then left soon after the clock tolled twelve. Whaddyagonnadooo? In past years, it's been skiing all day, and then managing to stay awake just barely past twelve. Party animals, I know.
So on this day, New Year's Eve, it happened that I was surfing with a crocodile in the waters at Jaco beach. I was happily surfing along, when I noticed that some of my fellow surfers had gone ashore, and that there was a small crowd forming at the water's edge. I went to shore, only to have someone ask me if I had seen the crocodile. What??? Thanks, guys, for letting me know that there was a croc in the water. Thanks for not waving me to shore. Jeeeeeez.
After enjoying the warm waters of the Costa Rican Pacific beaches, Pete and I went to the volcano and rainforest. And oh my, does it RAIN in this rainforest! It basically rained the entire time, but it just ranged from drizzle to torrential rains. Loud scary torrential rains. However, the rainforest made for an amazing landscape for zip lines! On some of these lines, we went straight through clouds, and all you could see around you was white. Simply amazing.
We also went to the hot springs. This was my first time at a hot spring, and it was so much fun!! I was told that not all hot springs are like the ones in Costa Rica. In Costa Rica (La Fortuna), they have water slides!
PURA VIDA!!
