Welcome To The Jungle!

We'll let the pictures do most of the talking here. Jungle, bugs, beach, our crazy new house; its been an amazing week. Puerto Viejo is on the southwest (Caribbean) coast of Costa Rica and is literally where the jungle meets the beach. Its way off the tourist circuit and a large afro-caribean influence. Great surf, cheap beer, and incredible wildlife kinda sealed the deal. We rented this place while in Mazatlan over a month ago. Having never seen it we knew we were taking a leap of faith but as with most things on this little drive, it just worked out. It turns out we have two little Sloth friends that live in the giant tree in front of our house and a couple of Toucans that eat out of the papaya tree in the yard. We bought bikes from a rental place for $60 each- cheaper than renting and might be able to sell them on the way out of town and we are working on surf boards as I type. It's going to be a great month.
