The Pacific Ocean
October 3rd, 2008 by jose
I am sitting on the beach of the Pacific Ocean at Manuel Antonio National Park near Quepos. For those of you tracking my location, the coordinates are 9.5N, 84.2W. This one of most beautiful beaches I have seen. The jungle seems to come right next to the ocean. It so peaceful listening to the sounds of the waves crash against the shell-less, gray sand. The water is lukewarm like the Atlantic Ocean is now, however, this water stays warm all year round.
The ocean is so beautiful and big, I am sure it knows about the crystal skull and will help me find Pachamama. I sat down on the warm sand and the waves immediatley crawled up to find me. Mrs. T. ran to rescue me from the waves, but I stopped her since I wanted to ask the ocean directly: “Do you know where the crystal skull is?”
The ocean whispered back to me:” Many skulls are hidden on my ocean floor. What kind are you looking for?” I told the Pacific all about the animals and the habitat that we are trying to save and that only Pachamama would know the answer. But we don’t know who and where Pachamama is. We need the crystal skull to be able to open up the Book of Knowledge. The book of knowledge will be able to tell us about Pachamama. The Pacific waves gently rolled back on the beach. In its echo, I heard “Look for the crystal skull in Peru!”

Looks like a tropical paradise. So far your trip has been so exciting and adventurous. It is bound to continue to be amazing in Peru. Can’t wait to see what Jose is up to next and where your search for Pachamama will lead you. Take care and be safe. We all miss you, but we know you are on an important mission! Mrs. Menger’s class is following you each day. We don’t always get very far because we replay the videos, especially the zip line and the close call with the crocodile.
Jose, The Pacific Ocean looks amazing. I am glad you are experiencing the full beauty of Costa Rica. Thank you for all the information and pictures you are sending us. We look forward to reading about your adventures each day.
What beautiful scenery! It definitely looks like paradise! I can’t wait for my class to see all you have been doing this weekend…boy, we have a lot to catch up on!!
Stay safe, and we’ll hear more from you soon!
The search for the Crystal Skull continues! Amazing how the jungle goes right down to the beach. How interesting that the sand is without shells. The water temperature sounds delightful. We are sure that Jose is enjoying the beautiful surroundings. How clever that Jose has asked the ocean for advice in finding the crystal skull! Mrs. Barnwell’s class sends greetings to you and yours!
We are all so excited and can’t wait to hear what you find out in Peru! Mrs. Pratt is crying in a corner because she really wants to be laying in a lawn chair on that beautiful beach with an umbrella in her hawaiian punch.
