Some things you should know about Costa Rica:
1. It's freaking hot here.
2. The tiny green frog that met us at the front door has enough poison in him to kill eight grown men.
3. The proprietor of the Soda La Unica has informed me that it has indeed snowed here. Twice. Which I am inclined to disbelieve (see #1), but he has kindly taken to speaking Spanish to me as one might speak to a small and mentally challenged child, which has allowed me to understand about half of what he says. So, sure, it's snowed here. Dos vezes.
4. The bullfrogs are in their mating season. And they're nocturnal. And very, very noisy.
5. When the sign says that the road is "en mal estado", they are SO NOT KIDDING.
6. Shouting "Vamos, Guatemala!" at the international - but mostly Costa Rican - bike racers is not in your best interests.
7. My Spanish sucks. (See #3)
8. There are bugs, bugs, bugs, and more bugs. Did I mention that there are bugs here? Tiny little bugs that you have to rinse off of your toothbrush in the morning, bugs in your bed, bugs in the sink, bugs on the walls, and the hammock, and in the pool; there are also huge giant moths that can cover up an entire light bulb. Ants that can strip an entire palm tree in a day. Medium sized bugs that bite. And weird little palm-sized beetles that Scott likes to fling at the frogs. The frogs like Scott. Which does not stop them from pooping all over the patio.
9. When it decides to rain here, it does not screw around. Seek cover.
10. We may not come home. This place is amazing.
