Two Swedes, a South African, and a Canadian

While in La Fortuna we made four friends at the place we were staying. The two girls, Sarah and Hannah, are two Swedish gals traveling a bit after 4 months of work on a cruise ship. Tim is the poor South African boy that complained about how expensive beer was in Costa Rica compared to back home. Richard is the brotherly Canadian who is always excited to include everyone and make sure everyone is happy and having a good time.
I don´t have pictures of our night at the hot springs at Baldi resort, but we had a blast. Our second adventure together, going to see the volcano, was a total bust as the volcano was covered in clouds and we basically just sat on the ground eating chips with the worst salsa ever and drinking Imperial.
We taught each other really important words from our languages (fifaan) and ripped on the classic stereotypes. Globalization at its best.

Being classy in the cold complaining about the hidden volcano

This was our super upscale going away dinner at this outdoor taco and basic food type place. You know you´re at a 4 star establishment when you walk around the corner to the supermarket to buy your own alcoholic beverages and the plates are from Dominoes. (This one is the South African by the way)
