costa que rica

well, to all of you who were worried, marti is here, safe and sound, and we only had to linger in the rancid cesspool that is san jose for a night or two. we're on the nicoya peninsula now, in montezuma, getting tan as little brown bunnies, and marti gets blonder by the second. literally, not figuratively. the theory is that we head to monteverde tomorrow for some rainforest time, and then back to san jose by friday for our early as hell flights saturday morn. travelling together is awesome, and while i still get the giggles at the iron grip she has during the bus rides, we've been safe and happy and sunkissed.

i missed blogging last week, and i have no excuse to save me. i was having a blast, and the computer wasnt part of my plans. amber, sara, and i decided to cave to the pressure of roatan, and we got certified to dive. the only thing more amazing and beautiful than the actual diving was watching sara's conversion. the skeptic became a giddy, giggly ball of goggle imprinted, salty faced ridiculous joy. kicked my ass to see, and i think amber cried in her face mask. as for me, ive dreamed about it every night since i left-- from swimming with sharks to breathing underwater, and ive decided that im doing my advanced certification when i get back. i think i might be a little in trouble with this hobby.
okay, marti and i are headed off to jump some waterfalls so ill catch up later, but to answer all of your questions... ill post pictures when you post comments. so there.
