A couple pics from our hike to San Ramon waterful on the Volcanic Island of Ometepe in Nicauragua. We hiked on volcano Maderes to see this wateful, and it kicked our butts! I am used to hiking and physical activity, but when I told Joshua we just had to hike a volcano, and he agreed, I was not thinking about how much uphill it was...as in like I developed a wheeze--but I knew if I quit then that I wouldnt make it. People kept saying youre almost there an hr away from the falls, haha. and the last part was the hardest, it wasnt hiking so much as it was climbing. But for me it was one foot in front of the next! I felt like we accomplished so much. haha. 
And now, the rest of the Pictures are from Costa Rica! Walks on the beach in Samara Beach!
Adventure hike at Samara Beach, Costa Rica. We walked for hours, and ended up having to turn back, before the tide took over that portion of the beach!
Date night Samara Beach #1
On date night #1 we went dancing at the local hot spot (it reminded me of dirty dancing movie 2). We also met some cool rastafarian friends there too.Date 
Date night #2. wierdly enough, I was craving sushi. : )I guess after having so much beans and rice, youll eat anything!
Our current hostel. We were staying in dorms, it was awesome, and I am looking forward to doing it again on our trip. It was a wonderful unexplainable way to meet and connect with people. It was so much fun. 2nd picture below, are some friends we made from Australia.
Apparently the only place in the world that farms their own cocoa beans, and makes them into a chocolate bar, is about 2km away from where we are staying, and a short bike ride. We went there on Valentines day for about 26USD per person, we had about a 4 hour tour, got to eat way too much chocolate, from the unprepared cocoa bean, straight from the fruit, to refined chocolate on a dipped spoon. They had us taste different types of chocolate (which only tasted different because of the different trees that grew on different local farms) with all these herbs and spices. For example have you every had chocolate and garlic, or chocolate and lemongrass, rosemary, or chili powder?
Some more friends we hung out with at the hostel. Tyler & Tiffany : )
Oh, did I mention, I got a cool doo-dad in my hair!
2 days ago I rode my bike 8km to punta uva a nearby beautiful beach in the pouring rain. It was so refreshing. I really enjoyed it!! I was already soaken wet in a attempt to volunteer at a local clinic, and decided I didnt have anthing else to do. So, I just went on the bike ride, and I am so glad I did. We are in a rainforest and have found out it rains alot! In fact we almost left this cool town too soon because of the rain. (the last few days have had awesome weather). Yesterday, Joshua rode with me to Punta Uva. It is so pretty here. I hear howler monkeys often, have seen tucans, the state animal a sloth, fish, turtles, and squirrels. (actually today we were on a bike ride, and the monkey above was throwing its seeds or somthing down and hit Joshua in the back). 
Last night before going out with Joshua to celebrate Mardi Graw at Tasty Waves. Tasty waves is a super cool place. They serve drinks and food. Every night of the week, they have something fun going on, like Trivia night. But, my favorite night so far is 'movie night'. A group of about 30 people showed up, and stationed themselves around a large white board, and a projector plays 2 movies back to back. It is free, and they give out free popcorn. We watched St vincent. It was awesome!!! (and if you havent seen that movie, I highly recommend it!
This is the best post ever! Nice job.
