Barrio Amón


San Jose

San Jose...Chepe as the locals call it...has a, well how do you say, unique aroma to it. We have spent our last two nights here, eating empanadas, drinking batidos, and climbing (we found a cool little gym called Mundo Aventura and lets just say we felt the weight of the past few weeks). From Kaps, our neat little hotel in barrio Amón, we were able to walk where ever, when ever; eating at cool little sodas, shopping at a local market, and of course checking out the sites! Da da dat da dats dats all folks...

M&M ADVENTURES



Playa Samara...Let the Learning Begin!

So we headed to the town of Samara on the Pacific Coast yesterday. Its really low key and beautiful and we had our first non-Tico meal of the trip--PIZZA! Today we did some sea kayaking, explored an island that we had all to ourselves and learned how to surf. (Olivia, we found you some pretty cool things on the pretty cool, little private island). M&M Surf School coming up...

Leaving Monteverde




Leaving such a fun place is hard to do...but when you're drinking 5 cups a coffee three times a day anything is possible. The road out of the Cloud Forest/Monteverde was a grueling, unpaved road where we could travel no faster than 20km per hour! Our next stop, Los Juntas, was a very long drive.

Monteverde: The Cloud Forest of Organic Farming and Rare M&M Sightings






Buenos Dias, Tardes, y Noches. Beautiful farm land, cool temps, miles and miles of dirt roads, one of the best restaruants ever (serving latin infused tapas), organic fair trade coffee plantations, canyoneering, the Cloud Forest Reserve: All this and much more is what you get in Monteverde and Santa Elena. Enjoy these few, not at all encompasing, pictures from M&M...
