9 of us volunteers got a bus to Manuel Antonio on the Pacific side of Costa Rica for the weekend. It was a really good weekend and we actually got 2 mostly sunny days out of it.
Within the first 20 minutes of being there we saw a sloth and monkeys so we were all thrilled. What didnt thrill us was the first hostel we stayed at. We got off the bus at Vista Serena which is on the outside of town which we didnt like. We checked in, got to our bunks and realized the water didnt work, there were no locks on the lockers, we were 30 minutes walking from town and a whole list of other gripes that ended with us getting our money back and walking to town in search of another hostel.
While sitting at dinner one day we heard this terrible scream and saw people start gathering around something laying in the street. Turns out it was a monkey that had jumped on the power line and got electrocuted. Some guy waited for him to stop convulsing and then put him in his car and drove away...to where, I do not know. But I did get a good laugh out of imagining this scene, the man and the supposedly dead monkey in a car, turning out like the scene from Tommy Boy in which Chris Farley and David Spade are alone in a car with a supposedly dead deer.
