This picture was taken from the car looking down while crossing the "Oh Shit bridge" We were on our way back to the hotel after Manuel Antonio. This picture was suppose to come after the next ones but I have no idea how to change the order once I have them downloaded.
This is the "Oh shit" bridge we had to cross. It was one lane and rickety. I was very glad we were with our guid that day.
We had lunch after hiking around the Manuel Antonio rain forest
When we were done with our hike this is how we had to get out of the Rain forest. I was so glad I had those ugle shoes on cause my hiking boots would have been ruined for sure. Rich was behind us losing his shoe. We were able to get it but it was almost lost
Our guide Charlie and the driver having lunch.
This was such a nice open air restaurant. It was so nice to sit and enjoy lunch and relax after the hike.
The boys!

from the beach back into the rainforest

Chris and Kirk......Is Chris hitchhiking?

Manuel Antonio Rainforest

There is a sloth in there somewhere.................
Rich's back and that's me and Kirk up there talking to our guide Charlie.
There's that Sloth!
Chris and I on the beach just outside the forest. It was really cool to come out to that beach from the rainforest....I did not even know it was there.

I wish the pictures could do this place justice. I really felt like I was in a picture. It was all so beautiful.

This was taken at the most beautiful little hotels I have ever seen. This is there drop-off pool over looking a cliff over the ocean. I wish we had stayed there.
THis is the hotel's amphitheater. That was a pretty step drop behind us.
A toucan!
There is another Toucan in that pictured.
Another view from the hotel. I really wish I knew the name. I think Kirk grabbed a brochure.

These were taken on the was to Manuel Antonio. Our guide "Charlie" asked if we would mind stopping there. He said he wanted to show us heaven and I think he did. These pictures do not even do the hotel justice, I wish we had gotten some of the lobby and breakfast area. There were only about 40 rooms and they were only $160. a night. I would have loved to be there one night at least. I want to swim in that pool and have a lovely glass of wine while watching the sunset. Oh well, maybe another time.

This was the way the maids folded our towels in our room. Isn't it cute!
An open air restaurant and little grocery store.
Me, after peeing on the road to Monte Verde.
This was the view from the road. Not much room to drive. Yes, I was nervous.
Me and Chris.....Goodness he's is cute.

These pictures were taken on the day we drove up the mountain the first time to zipline. By the time we got to the top we were in the clouds and there was a storm. You would never know it by these pictures. I did not realize how much higher we went up the mountain. Needless to say we did not get to go on our canopy tour that day. We tried to look at is as an adventure....and those roads were an adventure, but we were all disappointed we drove all that way and could not zip!

I believe that we spent the rest of the evening at the hotel bar and I got pretty toasted. I was drinking vodka and sodawater with lime. It's actually a good little drink. I could not handle the beer and the wine was from a box so I was having none of that.

That is all from this instalment. Many more pictures to come.

It's nice having more to say then "I was busy today" or "I am tired" or "I can't wait til my weekend.

another instalment of Pam"s Vacation.

This is Jaco Beach
The boys on the beach.

Little third world country street.

These were some of the pictures taken in Jaco. It was an ok little town. The beach was lovely there. We do think we saw a drug deal going down between this white surfer dude and one of the guys hanging out on the beach. We did not stick around to see but we did see the surfer dude go up to the guy and he totally looked guilty of something. They talked for a moment and then the other guy got on his bike and sped away. The surfer dude keep walking around in the area. We did not wait for the guy to come back....we saw this all from our resturant.But we figured he was buying pot. There was also a woman on the beach with the highest cut jean shorts on and a low low tight tank.....I think she was a hooker. Sounds pretty seedy! It was good I was with three guys!
That was the only place I thought to myself...."Ok, this is a sleezy little place" although I am sure I could see all the same things on Mission Beach in San Diego.

Tuesday night

On the Crocodile river bridge. Chris, Me and Kirk. Look at those sexy shoes!
The crocodile river
ohh, Crocodiles.

Rich, Pam and Kirk

I think I forgot to mention these guys. We stopped to see them on the way to Jaco and again with the guide on the way to Manuel Antonio. Our guide, Charlie, threw some chicken to them. It was kind of awesome. I did have visions of falling over accidentally and how screwed I would actually be with broken legs trying to crawl away because the fall probably wouldn't have killed you. Really an awful thought!
