Crazy transportation with crazier stories!
After prying myself away from Jaco, (I think I will stop for a night or two on the way back inland soon) I took a bumpy crowded sweaty bus to a town called Quepos. The ride was beautiful but consisted of waiting to cross a one way bridge that looked like it had been built hastily the day before with whatever pipe and drift wood that was laying about. But made it and came to a hostel close to a nature reserve called Manuel Antonio.
It was sad leaving many of the friends I met but some came to Quepos, some I may see later. Still I’ll never forget the hostel owners, the poor british guys, the employed and a lady who provided many stories for us to laugh at including forgetting that she was in the same hostel let alone room as us after we met her at least 4 times. Really random person to say the least.
Anyway, I spent the first day hiking and sweating my way through the reserve to find moneys, sloths, toucans, massive crabs and beautiful views. The trails were truly awesome. That afternoon I wanted to do some kind of tour, so I (pretty randomly) decided to do a adventure tour that consists of climbing waterfalls, rapelling waterfalls and dropping into pools. It was a great decision!! I could have spent days playing in the waterfalls. The trip ended with a cab ride back to Quepos (about 45 min) that I spent with one of the waterfall guides speaking Spanish. Ticos are amazingly patient and this proves it. The night was spent hanging out on hammocks meeting people and sharing stories, I love my life.
That is it for now. I am having trouble fully understanding the blog thing. I have uploaded pictures but I don’t think anyone can see them. Figuring this out fully might not happen until Lima where I need to give it an hour or two. Bt thanks for reading, I love the comments! Miss and love you all!

It all sounds fun- and a bit scary! I admire you, little brother, for your adventuresome spirit for sure. I’m so relieved to hear that u are being treated well on your journeys so far. Stay safe and maybe try not to cross too many of those bridges you described. That makes my palms sweat just thinking about it.
Love ya!
PS Nat asked about her uncle eric again- I told her you were swinging with the monkeys!
Sounds amazing man…are you trying to make me jealous? Can you still surf or have you lost it all since last time we went?
We just got back from our adventure to Mt Holly. It pales in comparison to anything you have done!!! Your trip sounds amazing and just what you hoped for. Stay safe. Keep up with the stories of your travels. Love you!
