From where we are staying in Camaronal, on the turtle beach, the nearest town is a three and half mile walk. One of the Costa Ricans we are working with, Ricardo, tried to explain to me a short cut that would make it two and a half miles. He gave up and decided to show me himself.
We walked for a while through back roads when I noticed the road we were on ended at a river. Before I knew it Ricardo had stripped down to his underwear and was wading through the river. I had no choice but to follow, luckily I was wearing shorts. We waded through the river sometimes waist deep. He led us to a trail on the other side where we had to climb over fallen trees and cross a swamp. Going to town was an adventure in itself.
