- Day Twelve: It All Starts To Come TogetherDay twelve. Thursday. The penultimate days surfing of this two week trip to a location that is rapidly approaching somewhere I might describe as a slice of paradise.

- Tortuga!!I knew this afternoon was gonna to be pretty good, but I had no idea what an incredible experience I was going to be able to witness. I decided to treat myself to a massage on the beach today, where Posted by KristinQ in Kristin in Costa Rica | Nov 30, 2011

- Days Nine, Ten and ElevenSo I'm going to start with an apology. Apparently, I'm not actually able to keep up with these posts on the actual day things happen. I think I've been getting into the Playa Guiones lifestyle a little too much and Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 30, 2011
- TamarindoI have been in Tamarindo since Sunday evening and it is a beautiful beach. My school is completely outside and there are lots of trees and plants everywhere. I still haven't been able to locate any monkeys, but am keeping Posted by KristinQ in Kristin in Costa Rica | Nov 29, 2011

- A Showcase For Some Of My PhotographyIn preparation for this trip, I kind of spoiled myself a little and bought a new camera (a Sony Nex-5). This isn't a full blown digital SLR, but does have a lot of similar features. I've only had it a Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 26, 2011
- Day Six: The Highs And Lows Of SurfingAnd so we return to the surfing. After the day off, energy levels were approaching somewhere near full and everyone was ready to get back in the water. By this point, everyone was paddling out back, catching green waves and Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 26, 2011
- The View From Here - Surf Simply ResortAs I'm sure people are aware, generally speaking cameras and see water don't mix, so I don't have any real photos of my surfing in my possession (they do exist and I will be getting hold of them as soon Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 25, 2011
- Day Five: The Day Of RestEvery Wednesday here at Surf Simply is a staff day off. Considering that the guys here work six days a week in one form or another, I think we shall allow them a day off every now and again! However, Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 25, 2011
- Getting Through The White WaterSo in the last post, I talked about getting outback through the white water. Unsurprisingly, if you paddle straight at a wall of white water, the chances are that it will wipe you out, push you back as far as Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 25, 2011
- Accion de GraciasToday is Thanksgiving, but not where I am. I had such a hard time getting out of bed for school today; it's been raining, learning Spanish is taking it's toll on me, plus who goes to school on Thanksgiving?! I Posted by KristinQ in Kristin in Costa Rica | Nov 24, 2011
- "Lluvialba"It has been raining pretty hard here and I can see why many of the locals call this town “Lluvialba”. Unfortunately there isn't much to be done when it's raining so hard and it isn't ideal. I am enjoying Posted by KristinQ in Kristin in Costa Rica | Nov 24, 2011
- Days Three and Four: Pushing Ourselves Past The BreakSo I'm going to combine days two and three into a single post, partly as each post is taking me a long time to actually finish, and partly because day two wasn't really that exciting in terms of writing about Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 23, 2011
- A new weekToday I started my 2nd week of Spanish school. The school changes teachers ever week to give you a different experience learning and listening to someone else speak. My new teachers name is Isabel and she is quite the talker Posted by KristinQ in Kristin in Costa Rica | Nov 23, 2011
- My Thoughts On YogaSo I'm going to take a slight diversion from the day-to-day play book that I've written so far to discuss yoga. As I mentioned in the last post, there is an hour's yoga class pretty much every day. I signed Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 22, 2011
- Day Two: Let's Hit The Waves!Unbelievingly, some people have actually read my last post. I know this as I have a very clever number that tells me how many people have visited it! As such, I'm prompted to actually write the next post. Lets plough Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 22, 2011
- Manuel AntonioAfter a long day of travelling by bus, ferry, taxi, bus and another last bus, I arrived in Manuel Antonio on Friday afternoon. Again I stayed in a very nice hostel with a busy balcony and an amazing view of Posted by sarahm_lux in A Luxembourger with a backpack | Nov 21, 2011
- Day One: ArrivalSo I would like to start off with an apology. The idea of this blog as a whole is, in its simplest sense, a way of keeping track of my misadventures while abroad. However, I'll most likely attempt to inject Posted by Exitalterego in The Rarely Insightful View From Here | Nov 21, 2011
- Rara AvisWe left La Baula Lodge early the next day and set off along the Tortuguero and La Suerte Canals, this time with enough petrol to see us to our destination. After travelling for about an hour we were met Posted by slking in South American Adventure | Nov 20, 2011
