The Chill out spot

Have you ever seen a baby crab?

Holy Cow, or should I say holy crab, I didn’t know how small baby crabs can be until I actually saw this one, this is probably not as small as other crabs but still it looks pretty small. My brother found it chilling in a shell, probably scare of us, but we only wanted to check it out and take a picture of him.

Amazing Sunsets in Costa Rica

I have a few other videos that I haven’t posted here and while looking for more I found this short video that I put together using some pretty cool sunset pictures, I was still very new to the video editing thing when I put this together, so its probably not as cool as other videos that I created before, but still its pretty cool to look at.

Costa Rica For Beach Lovers

A while back I wrote about my most popular video, which at the time it was my most popular video, however the vide what hosted at the metacafe website, however I have another copy of the video in youtube, so I am posting the link to the youtube video here, because most of the videos I post are on youtube, except the second Costa Rica Fun Mix because it was "too" long for youtube you so instead I put at Vimeo.com.

Mel Gibson’s backyard

It’s been a while since last time I wrote something, and I really want to keep my blog with fresh content. You might or might not know that the famous actor and movie director Mel Gibson bough some property in Costa Rica right on the beach, and I think that is a very good decision that he made because when he is in Costa Rica his life style would be more relax, by design, and I mean Nature design, just like nature intended, he bough a place that has unique access to this secluded and awesome beach and he and his guests get there using Mel’s House backyard. The property is quite big and the area is big too. In this picture you can only see his backyard access to the beach.

This the backyard entrance from the beach … VERY NICE.. I LIKE.

As you walk toward the beach you can see the vegetation is completely virgin never modified by humans.

Another Costa Rica Fun Mix

So this past December (07) and January (08), my girlfriend and I spend a very nice time in Costa Rica in company of my family, it was a very nice time because I was there for over one month. I really enjoy myself a lot every time I go to Costa Rica, specially around December and January, because the weather is very nice, everything is green since the rainy season just ended, but the weather its very nice, warm and the water is super warm too which is good for surfing and hanging out in the beach.  I took a ton of video but I have only manage to make this one mix so far. Hope you enjoy it, and don’t forget to write your comments to let me know what do you think about this video and/or if you have any question.


Most of this video was shot in the northwest part of Costa Rica in the province of Guanacaste, which is where the famous actor and movie director Mel Gibson has his cozy place right next to the beach in Costa Rica.

Costa Rica Mix 1, oldie but a good one

I was just browsing my videos the other day and I found the first Costa Rica Mix video I edited, it was composed mostly of pictures, but they are good good pictures anyway, I really like the music in this video, and hopefully I can make another video similar to this one with the same music. The Original song is from Bob Marley but the version in the video is from Damian Marley which is Bob’s son, the music is very laidback but in this version it makes me getup and go to the beach everyday even if it is just to "cruise" along the beach with the the top-off jeep with the music very loud, it definitely feels like summer when you do that. Hope you enjoy the video.

More of my favorite beach

A few more pictures of my new favorite beach. In case you are wondering why I am wearing a long sleeve rash guard its because of the convenience of not having to re-apply sunscreen in my arms, not to mention it saves me time of having to get out of the water to put sunscreen in my arms. Its definitely more practical that way I just put my rash guard on and not worry a applying sunscreen on my arms, shoulders, chest, belly, back, etc… you get the picture.

The only thing I do is apply plenty of sunscreen on my face, and legs, and use plenty of chap stick and I am ready to go.

Don’t forget to put plenty of wax on the board otherwise it will be impossible to get a good grip on the wet fiberglass surface

Chilling and waiting for more waves

The camera lens got a few drops of water but for some reason I like this picture, perhaps its because of the beautiful colors?

Where did everybody go?

Not much shade around here, luckily there was plenty of waves to keep me busy.

Somewhere in paradise

There is always something new I discover everyday, this particular day my brothers and I went to this semi remote beach which I’ve heard of a few times but because of how far and somewhat tricky access to the beach I’ve never been there, however this time we decided to check it out and bring our surfboards hopping we can get a few waves, and we wore in for a big surprise. The beach access was OK we had to "park" the car because the road ended at the mouth of a small river that goes into the beach, then we walked across the river and into the beach, the sand was awesome, white and very fine, and the beach looked like a normal beach, there was nobody there and the place was so beautiful once we got in the water and pass the braking of the waves it was heaven: the water was crystal clear, super warm and the waves wore a little glassy, and the untouched beauty of the surroundings felt so natural that this beach is now my favorite beach probably because of the 100% natural beauty, simple a place I would describe as paradise.

Paradise

My brother was enjoying this beautiful day, you can see how clear the water gets that you can see some of his white shorts, and to the left some of the rain that the wind makes when the waves are about to close.

Paradise

This picture gives you an idea of why this place feels like paradise, it looks untouched by humans, no houses, only natural tropical dry forest, and the blue color of the water goes pretty good with the green of the trees. I like this particular picture because you can clearly see the water that the wind splashes back to us that it sometimes it feels like rain and makes some rainbows for a few seconds.

Looks like this wave was not big enough for him.
