Jackson Hole

I have not ended my coverage of Costa Rica, I am just changing it up today. Between the 3rd and the 4th of July we were in Costa Rica, Florida, Vegas, Denver, and Jackson Hole, WY. We headed up to cowboy country to celebrate my Dad's seventieth birthday with my family and pick up the Frog. As we were descending into Jackson we got stuck in the air for 20 minutes because the Vice President was landing. It was really cool to get out of the airplane and see Air force two on the runway. On the ground at the airport we were reunited with the Frog, and man it was good to see her. We really missed that little kid, and talked about her the whole trip. Jackson does the 4th of July right, fully equipped with Rodeo and all. This is a video I shot while watching the bull riders. Although this guy gets worked, he is able to walk away. These guys have some serious cahones to ride a bull, if I tried that I am fairly certain in would take me a week to get out of bed.

Surfing and Getting the Beat Down Costa Rica Style

As Greg Allman would say went, "South Bound" to Malpies for a bit of surfing. Well to be honest it was more like some sort of gitmo water board torture (good times none the less). Ryker and I gave it our best and managed to get up on a few waves, and managed to get worked by even more. After about an hour I felt like I had been ritualistically beaten, so I turned to board over to my wife (who is still has remnants of salt water coming out of her nose to this day) who gave it her best, but the waves were a bit to big for all of us. After our near drowning we hiking up and down the beach and ate pizza at great little beach side restaurant. Costa Rica is so untouched! If this beach was in the U.S. there would be hotels on every square inch of it. Maybe we will give it all up and build a shack on the beach?

Tambor and Space Truck'n throught the Rain Forest

I had big plans on updating my blog daily with pics and video from our trip to Costa Rica, but due to the hotels 25 dollar a day charge for Internet usage it did not happen. These videos are from a zip line we did through the rain forest. There were 9 lines we did and stopped half way through to swim and jump off a couple waterfalls. It was an amazing trip and I will put more pics and videos up in the next couple days.
