East Coast

At the end of November I returned back to the States and headed out to the East Coast to see family. While there I also headed down to South Carolina to get my Wilderness First Responder Certificate. It was a 8 day course and I learned alot about wilderness first aid while there. I will be in Virgina for a couple more days before I head out to Colorado to meet a friend and then we will be heading to South America.

Costa Rica

The last week and a half of my trip I spent in Costa Rica. I also met up with friends Stoney and Jodie while there for Thanksgiving. I spent my time in Monteverde, La Fortuna and Playa Tamarindo. While in Playa Tamarindo I got to see Leather Back Turtles laying eggs but I don't have nay pictures since cameras were not allowed.

Nicaragua

I only spent about four days in Nicaragua before I needed to head on. It was real nice I spent my time in Granada which is on Lake Nicaragua and the surrounding area.
