I won (for women) in a Costa Rican climbing comp! Which isn't really saying much because women don't really climb in Costa Rica. There are a few and now I know them both. Women here are, however, very good at walking in high heels, a sport I will never master. i don't know if you can even tell in the pic, but this guy has rubber shards for back hair, which I found amusing. There are quite a few men here that are really really impressive rock climbers, though. They're really fun to climb with. This weekend, we're going to Cerro de la Muerte, a bouldering area up in the mountains that is in a cloud forest. I rented a car today, and had a CRAZY time driving home during rush hour. I've never driven on round-abouts, especially not with people seriously 6 inches from me trying to merge into the side of me if I don't let them in and people behind me honking so I won't let anyone in. But, I made it in my cute little rental Peugeot (only $10/day)! Most other things, though, are really not so different in price from the US. No one ever said Costa Rica was cheap.
