The Pacific to The Carribean

We left the Pacific coast of Costa Rica today and are back in San Jose. We leave for the Carribean side tomorrow for a week and it should be fun. The specific name of the place that we were was called Samara in Guanacaste and now we are headed for Puerto Viejo in Limon. The beaches of Samara stole my heart not to mention the locals that are amazing. I am hoping that the Carribean people and town will do the same. I have heard that you have to keep an extra eye on your belongings there but the tropical views are said to be amazing. I will write more about my travels when I get home and can post some pictures but lets just say that it has been awesome. I wanted to cry as I left Samara this morning and the thought crossed my mind that I might never get to walk on those beaches again or see that beautiful part of the country. I hope to be able to travel back here someday but I guess I will have to see. I am trying to make the best of every day and doing all that I can to see it all so that I wont have any regrets once I get back to the states. Church was awesome yesterday in Nicoya. We met some very nice members and the sister missionaries in that area are great. The members of the church are soooooo strong here. Royce and I went on a motorcycle adventure a couple of days ago and it was an experience that I will never forget. Just imagine he and I on a motorcycle in Central America going through the jungle looking for crocodiles and picking bananas. We saw a ton of monkeys in the trees and had fun talking to them. Royce would start to make a monkey "hoo hoo hoo" sound and then would squack back to him. It was amazing. We literally had like 50 monkeys in a tree above our heads. The crazy part about the trip is that we totally wiped out on the motorcycle. Yes... if you are going to wreck on a motorcycle... make it memorable. I have have of all the dirt in Costa Rica in my knee cap but it is okay now. Royce was a little scraped up but all we had to do was get cleaned up and glue the blinker light back on the motorcycle and it was all good. I think that my check bone should be better soon... it currently hurts even when the wind blows and applies pressure on it. Ouch! Well.. I better sign off. I need to get some Zzzz's before we travel across the country in the opposite direction tomorrow. Adios for now my friends.

Sounds like you're having so much fun! You fell off the motorcycle from hoo hooing those 50 monkeys swinging above your head didn't you!? =)
