Hey All,
I'm back despite the airlines and bacteria. I will go into detail about my experiences soon, but first I need to play catch-up. How is everyone?

Spelling: Sorry folks. Health: Getting better, I should be normal in two more days. Ticas: Buenisima!
I had a great time, the first two weeks I was in Santa Elena, Pital, a couple of hours away from Arenal Volcano. My host family was great, the youngest daughter, (age 9) was not half evil and half sweetness, but all of both at the same time. I gave her two frisbees which she used to whack her American uncle. Though I had my difficulties with her, nothing that couldn't be sorted out by chasing her with a broom.
This following story is a tad lewd about male howler monkeys (monos congos, they are black with white groins), but was told to me by a local named Jesus. He was a compassionate man, who helped me learn Spanish, and when I was soaked in the rain forest, he was mildly damp. The story goes that orignally howler monkeys had white fur, and one day they challenged Saint Peter to see who could make more noise. Apparently, Saint Peter controls the weather in addition to the Gates of Heaven. So the monkeys made a loud ruckus, holloring and holloring, Saint Peter in turn responded with lightning and thunder. The howlers, like most males in danger, covered themselves the best they could. So they put their hands over thier groins, which is why the monkeys have black fur with white crotches now. If this story offends, I do apologize and will remove it.
Also, I talked to Lebmania about also making this thread a "Anything you wanted to know" about Costa Rica. So ask away.
