Thanks very much to Nick, Jamie, and Taylor for coming to visit us and sharing the amazing house they rented near the beach. “Casa Wow” as it is known had a swimming pool and even a dishwasher, both of which were put to good use.
Just hangin’ around. We spotted these howler monkeys on our way back from Monte Verde.
The Seemiller family arrived a couple of days later, and after visiting “our” local volcano and a coffee farm we headed to the beach.
We saw these guys from a bridge on the way to the coast.
We passed the time waiting to check into our house in a playground in Quepos.
Nick and Witt got jealous and kicked the kids off the teeter-totter.
Casa Wow was a great, quiet place to hang out. We got to see some amazing thunderstorms from the deck.
We did a short hike into Manuel Antonio park. Although the park was crowded we saw lots of wildlife and made it to the beach.
Quinn and I played in the waves for almost an hour. Quinn loves body surfing!
I got stung by a ray or something, and a couple of days later my foot swelled up like a sausage. Back in Alajuela I went to a clinic for some anti-biotics. Glad it got me and not Q!
Manuel Antonio had tons of capuchins that pretty much made a living off stealing people’s lunches.

On the way back to Alajuela we had to pull over to let a bike race go by.
We don’t get many pictures of our van on the road. Thanks Jamie!

Looks like a great trip. I’m sure Q and T loved playing together. Witt, hope your foot is better.
Hi Marcia!
Yes, my foot is better. Antibiotics are awesome! Thanks!
Hi Witt and Jennifer,
I couldn’t find a “contact us” link so sorry about leaving this off-topic message here.
Our family decided to leave earlier for our trip! So we’ll be heading down to Baja this November!! We’ll just be a few countries behind you.
Secondly, have you guys had any more fuel issues with your truck? Our Sportsmobile is also starving for fuel when going uphill like you guys did in Mexico. We have changed the line from the tank to the pump, and also the pump. It’s still not perfect. So we are thinking about the fuel injectors next. I thought I might run it by you in case you have done more work on yours since Oaxaca.
Hope all is well with you guys.
Karie
Hi Karie!
Hmmm, yeah, there is no contact us. That’s an oversight!
Anyway, if you want to contact me directly I’m at wittsparks at yahoo dot com.
Awesome that you’re close to leaving on your trip! I bet you’re super-busy, I know we were.
The truck has been been running great (knock on wood). Seems like the clogged fuel line was the issue. Do you guys have a diesel engine too? Which one?
Witt
