In case you were wondering, I am back in the States now. It’s great to be back. I’ve just been avoiding the blog. My new shoes are wet.

Hello again web, and the developed world! We got back to San Jose yesterday after I picked up two more days of rafting. We took one day on the Reventason and the last day on the muy hermosa Pacuare. The Pacuare was awesome, with class four rapids, one of which I got to guide, and beautiful canyons. It was a relaxing and exciting day. Now all that’s left is a fancy dinner and a flight home. As beautiful as this place is, I can’t wait to get to the States. I’ll post my pictures ASAP. Lots of love…

Ok, so I swam in rapids for 2 days, learned about swiftwater life saving, tossed some ropes to some not-quite-drowning friends of mine, and then hit the r?os. First a day of rafting on the Pejibaye and then two days on the Sarapiqui. Then in a moment of complete anticlimax, I left the shores of the Savegre for the Cl?nica B?blica in San Jos?. I still don?t know if it was the beans or the water, but I?m blogging right now because some GI issues have me tied down at base instead of on the river where I should be.
Ooh, and the rivers are so beautiful! I?ve seen more wildlife in the past week than in any other week in this country. Costa Rica has some of the best rafting in the world, and in the calm spots, these whitewater wonderlands are crystal clear. I can?t wait to get back out there. Meanwhile, I hope the other guys are having fun.
?Pura Vida!
