While in Montezuma I was able to reconnect with Robert and Kay, a couple of guys from Germany who have been backpacking around CR, Nicaragua and Panama for the summer. We met during the bus trip to La Fortuna in week #1 of vacation and have bumped into each other a few more times since then. Robert is now back in Germany, and Kay is continuing with another couple months of hiking in South America. Jealous - yes, yes I am, Kay.
We swapped tips on good vacation spots and the latest adventures. Of the three waterfalls we discovered in the rainforest just across from our hotel in Montezuma, I had found two. They found the other one, and in fact jumped from the top of it (their video of it make the falls seem like 300 meters)! Needless to say, I would have done it, too, but as daring as I am, I didn´t have time... And to think that places like that are just naturally part of the ¨backyard¨ here. In the States, we spend bucco bucks to landscape stuff like that, charging exorbitant prices for tickets to the themed attraction. Here, the only fee was the energy I spent in walking to the sites and in overcoming my fear of scaling the paths (safer than not... I may be a risk-taker, but I still analyze heavily). I love this about God´s creation!
It was great to have some ¨guy time¨even while here away from most anyone I know. Becca has had some fun girl time with our host-mom and host-sister, so it was good to meet these guys again.
