ok so it posted that as actually me. lol. crazy spanish computers.
I'm actually amazed these machines work. the 2 computers are ourtside at the bar under a roof. I can stick my hand out 2 feet and get covered in rain. I imagine the humidity and moisture would be wreaking havoc on these things. I should take a pic of the keyboard for you guys too lol. so many crazy looking keys and everything does not type what it says it will.

Baph, take a pic.. Im interested in how things work down there. So surprized they have internet. I wonder if they strung Cat5 and split it to the 2 computers for a fun 10mb connection on both but have it coming from some satelite system.

heyo! just arrived in tortugeuro. its in the middle of the rainforest, had to take a 5 hour boat ride through the waterways to get here....and they have the bleeding internet in the jungle!!!! I have TONS of pics babyface. I took one of the computers on my first day. they are literally just outside in a hut. its so humid I don´t understand how they can work haha.
anyway just dropping a line. heading out on a night hike right now so hopefully see some sea turtles come to the beach and lay their eggs.
P.S. Tomo. I stayed at a small town called Puerto Viejo yesterday. It´s heavily rasta influenced and there is herb EVERYWHERE
itll be a while before you here from me again. The next place we are going , Rara Avis, has no electricity.

yo. Rara avis was crazy. first thing we see when we get there in a deadly eyelash pit viper hanging in a tree right above the entrance to the cabin. Those things kill within 2 hours of their bite. Saw some strawberry poison dart frogs too, and a whole bunch of other crap.
we played a soccer game in the middle of the jungle in the pouring rain at rara avis. it was insane, the field had mud pits that go up to your thighs. you couldnt run 2 feet without slipping and falling. I think i broke my toe kicking the ball but I can ignore it.
I´m in la fortuna right now, a really small town at the foot of an active volcano. you can feel the tremors and hear it erupt 1 to 5 times a day. Usually the peak is shrouded in cloud but yesterday you sould see tons of smoke billowing out of it. They arent massive eruptions or anything, and the lava is currently flowing down the opposite side of the volcano so im in no danger.
We all went to the baldi hot springs last night and snuck in 2 bottles of rum. we got drunk and started climbed onto this tall island in the middle of one of the springs, which we arent allowed to climb on. took 3 people to get 1 person up lol. Anyway, I thought the water was a lot deeper so i jumped off and smashed my elbow in the ground, almost dislocated my shoulder. its all good now though. They have this waterslide there that goes pretty much as fast as a roller coaster. I thought I was travelling through time.
anyway, this is probably the last time ill have internet until i get back home. take it easy hombres.

finally back in civilization! I'll be back home tomorrow at about midnight. pics following soon. this trip was incredible.
about 3 days ago while we were staying in a mountain town we got hit by an earthquake that measured 5.9 on the richter scale. It was pretty effin intense. lasted 15 seconds. A few roofs around town collapsed but there was no serious damage. All Costa Rican buildings are required by law to be anti-siezemic. Anyway, as much fun as this trip was im so glad to be going back home. clean clothes...a shower that i know will have hot water for sure. its all rainforest here so everyday id be getting into a bed with damp sheets, getting into damp clothes. freaking everything is damp.
I look forward to seeing this new tf2 update.
