Epic second and third days here in Liberia and Tamarindo.
I made a friend from Vancouver and we went on a ten mile trek through the jungles of Rincon de la Vieja. Rincon de la Vieja is an active volcano that most recently erupted in the fall of 2011. You are no longer allowed to summit the mountain, however the valleys below are full of a diverse wildlife population. During our hike we saw white faced monkeys, tropical birds, boiling mud pits, hot springs, and at the very middle of our hike, a beautiful secluded water fall that protected us from the scorching 100 degree heat. By the end of the hike I was so dehydrated that I could barely move. The price you pay to hang in paradise!
My friend Will and I awoke early the next morning to hitch a ride to Tamarindo. Besides getting scammed by the driver (always make sure you specify what currency you will be using to pay) it overall easy hour ride to Tamarindo. We arrived early in the day and quickly made moves to get to the beach.
As the day began to wind down, we noticed people began to gather near the beach for the sunset. Breathtaking is not a word I use often and it doesn't come close to describing the scene that unfolded over the next 15 minutes. One of the most memorable sunsets I have seen and I am blessed to be able to see it every day for the next month!
Sam has been through a flight cancelation, 9 hour delay, and 3 connections. I'm sure he is exhausted and he will be arriving in Tamarindo sometime Wednesday night or Thursday morning. We will then go to start work at Dreamsea Surf! Lots of adventures to come.
