This is Mary and Ken's house in Zancudo. Zancudo
is located right across from the Osa, so if you take a boat, it's
45-minutes. But if you drive, you have to drive all the way around
the peninsula, so it takes five hours. Plus, the road to Zancudo
becomes brutal at a certain point, and you just crawl along trying
to avoid giant pot-holes in the dirt road. |

Inside Mary and Ken's bedroom. It's a
really nice house on a huge lot about 100-yards from the beach. |

Ken had been taking lessons from their
neighbors on how to shave a coconut. He's sitting on a board with a
metal tab sticking out that you rub the inside of the coconut
against to shave the meat out. |

The first thing you need to do before
going out on the beach is....put on your princess shoes, of course! |

This is the beach at Zancudo. A couple of
days Naomi and Jacob went surfing, and the waves were pretty decent. |
|
|
|
You would see these wiggly lines all over
the sand, and it turns out it's a little sea creature making them. A
girl there showed us how you can dig them up to see them (inset). |

There was a grasshopper up on the kitchen
window screen, which Amelie named Katie and made her pet. She had no
problem holding it and playing with it. She's only
covering her eyes because I asked her if I could take her picture
and she's playing around. |

Mia found a wooden swan at a cafe in
Zancudo that she had fun riding on while we ate lunch. |
|
|
|
We had lunch at a really nice (but
expensive) restaurant that was part of an ecological preserve.
Here's some Baruca indian masks on the wall behind Ken. |

Mia says don't go anywhere, we've still
got Hacienda Baru to get through. |
On to Hacienda Baru!
