Si Como No: "Yes, Why Not"

We are on the final leg of our journey through Costa Rica - staying near Manuel Antonio National Park (town of Quepos) on the Central Pacific Coast. The hotel we are staying at is called "Si Como No" which translated to English means "Yes, why not!" The place is a beautiful "green hotel" or eco resort. They use solar energy, recycle water to create a type of "sustainable" hotel, or something like that. Yesterday, we went on a Catamaran sail around the Manuel Antonio area, which was a lot of fun. We saw dolphins, did some snorkeling, and swimming in the ocean. At the hotel, the adult pool has been the highlight. Megan, Daniel, Karyn and I just lounge around the pool, never straying far from the swim-up bar. We are all battling sunburn.

The beaches at the National Park have been a little disappointing. They are crowded and the water is not so clear. However, we saw lots of cool wildlife - including monkeys and a family of sloths right on the beach.

Matty and Karyn,
I just posted a very funny comment, but I did not follow standard operating procedure and get the password first, so all is lost. The gist of the lost comment was: I hope you have a good time, I didn't know that sloth was a noun, and to get rid of sunscreen take crush some motrin and make a paste with some water and apply to the burnt areas, it will alleviate the pain if done fast enough.

Also, how was Denver.
