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.<\/p>\n

\"Just<\/a>

Just hangin’ around. We spotted these howler monkeys on our way back from Monte Verde.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Seemiller family arrived a couple of days later, and after visiting “our” local volcano and a coffee farm we headed to the beach.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"We<\/a>

We saw these guys from a bridge on the way to the coast.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"We<\/a>

We passed the time waiting to check into our house in a playground in Quepos.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Nick<\/a>

Nick and Witt got jealous and kicked the kids off the teeter-totter.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Casa<\/a>

Casa Wow was a great, quiet place to hang out. We got to see some amazing thunderstorms from the deck.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"We<\/a>

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.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Quinn<\/a>

Quinn and I played in the waves for almost an hour. Quinn loves body surfing!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"I<\/a>

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!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Manuel<\/a>

Manuel Antonio had tons of capuchins that pretty much made a living off stealing people’s lunches.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Seemillers enjoying some pool time at Casa Wow.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"On<\/a>

On the way back to Alajuela we had to pull over to let a bike race go by.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"We<\/a>

We don’t get many pictures of our van on the road. Thanks Jamie!<\/p><\/div>\n

The world’s fastest plant and the world’s slowest animal, all in one week:<\/p>\n
