Landing In Cahuita!

It was a hot hot process.  It was very hard to sleep the first few nights... and the first day was a long day as we were struggling to find a place to live.  The first place we saw I of course fell in love with... it's perfect and beautiful.  It is located on playa negra... which makes for about a 10 minute walk into town.  It is on a man's property who is named Beno... is the nicest man!! and has been very helpful throughout this entire process.  

Mom and I met these two girls from California one night at dinner only to find out they are going to Spanish school here!  So i have been spending a lot of time with them thus far!

The dog I was really excited to talk to you guys about... welll pretty sure he died?  We don't know where he is... soo that is a bummer... however he was the delight of my life while he was around... he followed me everywhere and I mean everywhere.  He would wait till I got beyond the gate and bolt out from under a wire fence... and than I would have to turn around and bring him back home.. he was quite a pain but made me very happy... I am very  sad that he is gone!!! Beno apparently is not sad since he was not a good watch dog.. which he wasn't... but i liked him.. it was a german shepard named likeo (which if you know me at all know that I have always wanted a german shepard!).

Unfortunately when mom was here I got sick and we weren't able to do a lot of exciting things! But she was very helpful and made sure to make lots of contacts for me and get me lots of food and water!!!  She made a few mistakes of being to friendly and telling everyone where I lived... which is funny since she insists that I carry a whistle with me.  We met some travelers from Canada and we had quite a few laughs at this whole scenario.  All in all I was very happy that mother accompanied me on the trip!

We took many trips to the National Park and to the Black Beach or Playa Negra.  

It was really sad when mom left but she managed to get on the bus like a pro!!!

  2. wear your shoes at all times. Remember Diego's story about the snake bite in Arenal .... who knows, they are probably crawling all over, and were ready to bite me while i was laying in your hammock.
