Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

After our weekend to Pureto Viejo, a few weeks ago, we decided we needed to return. Puerto Viejo is a Jamaican influenced Rasta town that is very laid back and popular with surfers. There are heaps of open air bars playing Bob Marley and serving cocktails. There are also beautiful beaches and a great atmosphere. This time we stayed for five nights. The first couple of days were overcast but after that there was plenty of sun to hide from.
Zane was doing some research on wildlife in the area, so school time was mostly spent on the beach.
My highlight was visiting a wildlife sanctuary and getting to hug a baby sloth. There were also howler monkeys which are much lighter than baboons and don’t bite as hard either.
We have two more weeks left in Costa Rica which will be spent further up the Caribbean coast volunteering with the leatherback turtles. I don't know much about it so it will all be a surprise. I do know there is no power so the next update will be from San Jose before we fly to Quito, Ecuador.

Just the littlest bit excited about our massive pina coladas.

This guy's fur is surprisingly soft.
