Baby Turtles

We finally got to see a nest of baby turtles go to sea. On the first day, just one little guy came up earlier than all the rest and went to sea right before Cass and I went to dinner and a movie (had to see revolutionary road since cass loves kate and leo). I didnt mention how we met an older lady when we saw the first movie (curious case of benjamin button). Shes an older lady and she told us her and her husband have been coming here for 2 months every year for the past 20 years when it gets too hot in california, but her husband recently died so it was her first time coming without him. Naturally after that we kept running into her. We ran into her on the beach coming back from Montezuma the day before the movie, and we saw her little house she rents and had iced tea on her porch listening to all her crazy adventures! She also gave me two books for the road: Kite Runner and the sequel which was something like a thousand suns. Anyways she was really nice and she went to revolutionary road too but her last day in costa rica was yesterday. After the movie i bought some smore goods (marshmellows and chocolate cookie things) in montezuma for if we had a fire...and crazy enough low and behold me and cass were walking back to our camp and by some miracle....fate... we run into a perfect smore fire on the beach, deserted, perfect coals, so we stopped and roasted a few...it was RIDICULOUS! The next day (which was yesterday) we went back to the nest because more should have been hatching and we saw pretty much the rest of the nest (about 88 turtles i believe) make their way down to the ocean...pretty spectacular and we got some good pictures. Oh and i never mentioned...prolly about a week ago we had another soccer game on the beach and when we finished we saw some whales off the coast which was pretty cool.
So right now we are in San Jose. Were taking the week to travel to Volcano Arenal, Monteverde, and most likely Guanacaste and Tamarindo as well. We were going to go the other direction and speedboat to Tamarindo first but the speedboat is undependable, they didnt have enough people booked for the trip. But it should be a fun trip...theres tons to do in Monteverde and Volcan Arenal is supposed to be beautiful. We also are BOTH spending all of our time at Romelia now and talking breaks for trips. The plan right now is this week trip, then 2 weeks volunteering in MOntezuma, then a week trip to Nicaragua, then a week volunteering, 2 week trip to jaco and panama, then the final week volunteering. So theres the plan for now! Its late so im gonna get some sleep...just wanted to give the update.
