The manager of the hotel, Carlos, ( in Zancudo) was getting his hair dyed by a young woman (age 23). They suggested that I would look younger without my gray. I now have black hair. It drew a crowd of locals. Jersey boy and myself were the only gringos for miles. It was great for bonding with the locals. I paid Amanda 4 bucks. I had shaved my beard earlier in the morning.

I was brave enough to go swimming at night in the ocean. This is a place where the plankton lights up when you disturb the water. Very cool. Very scary. No one else would do it. Someone got bit by a Mana Ray the other day. The sun sets for a long time and changes colors. 

Got back to Golfito today and hiked in the local forest jungle. This was very enjoyable. The trail leads to waterfalls. It was rigorous and a bit dangerous. Saw Obama's Inauguration on TV in the Marina Bar.
