5 Things You Did Not Know About Jake and Paige

A few weeks ago our friends Jake and Paige came down to the COSta Rica to tour the Coco Beach area. We were lucky enough to have them with us and had such a good time.

So much fun, in fact, that we developed a list of our top 10 conversations. Of course, I’ve lost that list by now, but I’m pretty sure on it we listed delicious ceviche, Jason’s misuse of the Spanish word, mejor, The Tabacon, and my overuse of the word p-o-o-p. (While this last one might seem strange, the sewage treatment in parts of Costa Rica is sub-par, and I just can’t help but talk about it sometimes.)

Anyway …

Since you may not know Jake and Paige that well, and I learned so much about them while they were here, I thought I’d take this chance to share with you some of the facts.

Fact #1 – They laugh in the face of danger. The helmet for the canopy tour was optional, but Paige did some tricks so she kept it on.

Fact #2 – Jake knows good literature. He even shared a few tips with us on how to best wear our shorts on our hips.

Fact #3 – They have mad photography skills. On a nature walk they were brave enough to get beneath this green lizard despite the risk of getting p-o-o-p on their camera.

Fact #4 – They’re willing to risk drowning for their friends. Without being prepared for how big the waves were really going to be, they listened to me when I told them to sit down and wait for the waves that would eventually come through these two caves, knock us all over, and make us giggle.

Fact #5 – They are photogenic. They were willing to walk and run up a couple of mountains just for for photo opps — and the nice scenery, of course.
