Costa Rica during the wet season


Hello all-
I know I haven't been good about keeping my blog up and i'm getting hounded by one person in particular so here is a little summary of my work trip to Costa Rica.

It was hot (mucho calor) and humid (humido). The project was really interesting and to see how drillers operate in a 2 to 2.5 world country was really fascinating. I learned how good the drillers here have it. It was pretty crazy.

enough about work... Since I was in the tropics i decided to complete my open water portion of my scuba certification there which was great. Once you get off the coast a little ways and head to the small islands and descend to a depth of at least 30 feet the ocean comes alive with really big tropical fish and lobsters. I also saw one eel and one small white tipped shark. Besides the scuba diving, sarah (the girl I was working with) and I went to Manuel Antonio Park. We actually saw a two toed sloth move, i didn't think that really happened.
Not much else to say about Costa Rica since 7 of the 8 days I worked. But there is one thing, Quepos is a really cute little town with lots of American sports fisherman.
