The Eagle, united, will never be defeated!

So members of Team Eagle have reunited in Bahia Drake, camping each night on the beach, which is public land and free up to 100 meters. Score! There´s even a little creek providing us with fresh mountain water that we can drink (after filtering). The first couple of mornings, Juicy and I awoke and cracked open a fresh coconut for breakfast. Mmm. Actually, my first attempt at this left me with two cuts, a blister, and a broken knife. But Juicy prevailed over the coconut. The Pacific is quite warm and very calm, the waves are small, and no one around here does much other than sportfishing. Drake is a heavily touristy area, so the supply of free things to do is limited largely to the beach, ocean, and hiking in the nearby mountains. We´ve all managed to get sunburnt, despite our efforts to wear a lot of sunscreen. Stan is kicking off a four-day hike around the penninsula and will meet the rest of us in Puerto Jimenez, on the other side at the end of the trek. The rest of us will bus part of the way and then do a day hike to PJ, before heading back to San Jose, with a quick stop to hike up the tallest mountain in Costa Rica (4,000 meters, whatever that is). We love to read comments, so let us know how you all are doing. Stan, Mike, and I passed the six-week mark on Monday, Kate is at five weeks, and Justina is at over 4 weeks of traveling. It´s getting harder to remember when we´ve done what now.
