I got up at 6:30 to get a boat to Montezuma - really good fun! Crazy bumpy speedboat all the way, for about an hour and a half. Was going to stay, but decided to share a taxi fare to Santa Teresa - and i'm really pleased I did. Our taxi driver was excellent, stopping and getting out every now and again to show us ardillas, monos, pizotes, mariposas, platanillos, iguanas - that is, squirrels (red like they used to be, with huge grey bushy tail), monkeys, pizotes (I dont know if there's even an English word for it!), butterflies, crazy plants related to bananas, and i think you can guess the last one. He put my mind at rest by saying he has rarely seen a snake in CR!
Santa Teresa looks like an amazing place, and a bit of a surf haven so I might stay here for a bit (although I just tried for a bit and failed miserably). I think it's a surf haven because it's all a little bit above me (literally and figuratively).
I don't know if eyes are the windows of the soul, but nostrils are las ventanas de la nariz.
