Monkeys

Guiones Howler Monkeys

These guys are hard to photograph. They don't show their faces much; I just happened to walk by at the right time and happened to have my camera.

An opposable tale tail would be useful; I wonder why we evolved away from them?

Nosara Spider
This picture isn't too exciting but I like it because of that small dot hanging from a leaf. I decided to focus in...

Nosara Spider
Almost like a fractal of the larger scene, this spider is just doing its thing; oblivious to the nice sunset.

Nosara Spider
Of course, that could be an incorrect supposition. Maybe this spider is enjoying the sunset and is contemplating its existence?

Nosara Spider
But why develop self reflection when you can make a kick ass web and catch flies all day long?

A Few Pics From the First Few Days at Playa Guiones / Nosara

Small plane landing

I'm not one to fear any type of flying but this bumpy flight in a very small plane from San Jose, CR put a little sweat on my brow. The girl beside me almost ripped her hand rest out and two of the other passengers almost puked

Some kind of Costa Rican Bird
I don't know what kind of bird this is but they are pretty common here in Guiones
Playa Guiones
This is Guiones Beach
Playa Guiones
The town of Guiones is nestled into this jungle. Nothing is allowed to be built within 200 yards of the beach which makes great sense.

I Don't know Where I Am

Mountains from airplane

I don't know where I am.

24 Hours ago I was watching a movie at the comfortable 5th avenue theater in Vancouver. Now i am in a strange hotel room somewhere close to San Jose, Costa Rica. If I had to make a 911 call (assuming there was a phone in my room, which there is not) I would have no idea where to send the police... nada... no clue whatsoever.

Room at Hotel

I am oddly calm though. My $30 room is spartan but clean and feels safe. Early tomorrow I fly to Nosara to settle into the condo I rented for the next month. Tomorrow afternoon, I should be surfing.

As a side note, the movie I saw last night was "The Drifter", a soul searching, travel surf movie. It was appropriate to see the night before I left but I am not really searching for anything on my journey. I've done that trip before and know there is nothing to find.

Family Tree "What A Life" Movie Premier at Garf's

Went to the Whistler premier of Family Tree's "Get A Life" snowboard movie last night at Garfinkles in Whistler. It was pretty cool to see the movie come together so well. To see more videos by the family tree guys check out the website I built for them at www.familytreeland.com. (See one more pic after the jump)
