This week was again spent in Bagaces. On Friday we had two back-to-back games of soccer against two different teams. We won the first game, but lost the second game, partly because we were tired.

On Sunday I went to the nearby waterfalls. They are only about 3km out of Bagaces and they are very stunning ( they have a colour photo of them in my guide book) but I had never been to them before. It is quite a popular swimming spot and I was told that it is good camping there and the falls look especially nice in the moonlight. I went for a swim and had fun, but I have a feeling that the little bit of water I got in my ear led directly to my current cold.

This rainy season has been lacking in rain, and October is no exception. I was told that October would be almost constant rain, but there hasn't been that much. The roads were even dusty early last week. The roads have held up ok with less rain, but this week they are re-grading the road to get all the potholes out. I heard that they are planning to build a paved bicycle path all the way down to the Palo Verde National Park at the end of the road, but I'll believe that when I see it.
