Hey there!!! Im typing from sunny Cahuita. It is a mellow town in the north carribean coast. its much more low key and calm than Limon, so we decided to stay here. The bus ride was pretty horrible. It was really hot and really long and i stuck to the vinyl seats, but when we got here it was so gorgeous!!! the picture for this entry is exactly what the beach looks like!! the water is warm and blue and the sand is white. you can see strait to the bottom and theres ...
