When you last joined me, I was throwing Big Momma out of mi casa at 7am, grabbing a shower, and meeting Melanie and her sister Alana in the hotel lobby. They are right on time...and we share a great breakfast except that Melanie tried to use the phone by the cash register to call my room and the ass hole manager of the restaurant yelled at her. When I walked in she was still upset and embarrassed and I suggested to the manager that there was a nice way to talk to my girls, and a rude way, and he should learn the difference.

On the way out I stop by and tell Francisco at the travel desk that I was bringing not one but TWO muchachas with me to Tabarcon. He agreed to call ahead and tell them I wanted a triple instead of a double and we were on our way. I wondered if I was doing the right thing by bringing Alana with us. She definately could get in the way of the nooky in the room....but I decided that was less important than just relaxing and having a good time. It was quickly apparently that I had made the right decision. Alana has a great personality and knows english very well. She was a lot of fun to spend time with. Also she is mi Amiga Melanies soul mate, not just sister but best friend. Melanie had a much better time because Alana was along...although Melanie would have been wonderful to me in either case. I could kinda tell that Mel wanted me to let Alana drive because she needed the extra cash....but Mel to her credit never did push me in any direction. She would just say "you decide, up to you." Rene would have charged me $65 dollars each way....but by taking Alana with me, I could pay her $120 total. I was happy to do that, and also bought her gas and agreed to develop her film.

The ride to Tabarcon was awesome. It was a beautiful country ride up in the mountains. At one point as we were going through the sleepy town of San Ramon, Melanie stripped down to her bra and panties right there in the car....and then the bra came off. Wow, these CR girls are so open...it amazes me. Melanie changed clothes and put on the outfit I bought her from Tommy Hilfiger....and wowowwwwwww was she cute.

Alana was a crazy ass driver. I started the trip putting on my seat belt....but the girls did not, and I noticed NOBODY wears them here. I decided to live dangerously and figured if they found me at the bottom of the ravine in a crumpled up Toyota Corolla with two hot babes in the car...it would make a nice final chapter to my story back home. Alana almost got us killed about 10 times. She tailgated big trucks and buses to the point where I thought I was riding in a trailer attached to the other vehicle. She almost hit 3 dogs, a horse, about 10 pedestrians and a chicken. She dodged pot holes and ruts and swerved in and out up these windy mountain rodes. There were NO roadsigns anywhere and then I learned why. They all ask directions. She must have asked directions to Tabarcon 10 times, to anybody walking along the street. This country is so friendly...you would not see that back home.

We get to Tabarcon and the room is not ready so we head straight to the pools. Tabarcon looks up to the Arenal Volcano, and the natural springs flow out of the ground as hot water. Imagine an entire river of running hot water. We sat underneath the hot waterfalls. Melanie did not have a bikini so I bought her one at the gift shop. Tabarcon has a series of inter connected swimming pools all constantly behing refilled with the natural hot springs water flowing through them. At night they shut off the flow and clean the debris out of the pools from the volcano and then refill them again in the morning.

The girls and I had a great time. I was obviously the one gringo with the best looking babes there. There were only white ass girls there and they all looked homely to me. I got more than a few envious stares from the guys as I entertained my two gorgeous babes. They have a hot water swimming pool with a bar where you sit in the water and order drinks.

While we were in the hot water together....I literally got into REALLY hot water with Melanie. At one point she turned to my face and sweetly asked: " did you go to Ram Luna?" If you remember my earlier trip report you will know of my wonderful dinner at Ram Luna on Sunday night...but it was not with Melanie it was with LG. I was stunned at the question and did not know what to say, but the way she asked it told me I had better not lie. She said again "did you go to Ram Luna?" I very sheepishly said "yes.....how did you know." She told me she saw the receipt in my room. Oh...good thing I did not lie since she already knew the answer. Then she said "who did you take to Ram Luna?"

Now again, I had been living dangerously, with girls on my arm at every turn. Even Ron, the CR veteran had told me he was amazed at how quickly I was able to pickup chicas....not just for sex but to hang out. I knew at this point I was up to my neck in hot water, and I was not talking about the Tabarcon hot springs. Again she asked "Who did you go with?" I could have lied and claimed it was with other grongos, but I told her the truth. I told her LG's name. Melanie then said "Oh....LG....I see....where did you meet her." I hesitated and said the Del Rey. I then asked if she knew her and she said no....but she had seen her name and phone number in my drawer in my room. SHEESH. I did not remember leaving melanie alone for more than 2 minutes....and already she had found my receipt for RamLuna, and seen LG's name and phone number. Melanie was really OK with all of this. She said "it's OK, I know I could not provide you company all the time...and you needed company for your vacation....it's OK." Wow....what a girl. She knew about this other girl all along and was OK with it.

But WAIT, it gets better. I decide to recover from this damage by trying to score brownie points. I say to Melanie....."At least I never did lie to you...when you asked me I told the truth." Melanie then blew me away. She said very bluntly "no....you did lie to me. But it's OK." I vehemently denied that...i said "No...I NEVER have lied to you." Melanie then said...."yes you did...remember when you developed the pictures in your camera and show me the ones you took and I asked you if those were ALL the pictures or if you had taken more and you said no....no more pictures." Oh My god....a light went off. I knew she had me by the balls. I said "how in the hell did you know that I did not show you all the pictures" and she said "because I saw the negatives....and I saw the other girls you were with. All of them" Oh SHIT. I had given Melanie the picture packet and thought I was so smart by removing the pictures of all the other girls I had been with before I gave them to her, but foolishly had left the negatives in the packet. She must have looked at the negatives when I used the bathroom.

OK...she busted me with my other girlfriend....she knew about my taking her to dinner at RamLuna...and she knew about all of the other girls I had been with....and had even seen the pictures! And here she was still with me....still as sweet as ever....still affectionate and loving. I was amazed and really felt attached to this girl more than ever.

Now look....Melanie is a girl I met at the Del Rey. She had to have known that I would do other girls while here....but I had tried so hard to keep that a secret from her. The fact that she so easily discovered my little plot and blew it wide open so quickly was just amazing. I reminded Melanie that even though I had taken LG to dinner....I had not taken her shopping...had not taken her to Tabarcon...and had not spent nearly as much time with her as I had Melanie...and to this she sweetly replied "thank you baby."

It only came up one more time. I had bought about 5 or 6 pairs of cute panties to give to the girls as gifts and had given one of the pairs to Melanie the day before. She LOVED them. they look like bikini panties, in the design of boys briefs and have the word sexy on the front. When we got back to the room Melanie showed me hers and whispered in my ear "these panties are only for me....not for LG....you understand....no panties for LG" I laughed and agreed and remembered that I still had the rest with me. I broke out the panties and gave them to Alana and Melanie and the girls proudly gave me a panty fashion show. It was kinda awsome.

Melanie and I had a king size bed and I asked for a third bed for Alana. Mel had made it clear that I would not be doing anything funky with big sis, and it was OK with me. I was not really interested in anything like that. Alana was a good girl and was becoming a very good friend and she looked out for her little sister alot. I was on my best behavior.


The girls and I had a great dinner and then went back to the room to listen to music. The girls offered to model for me if I would take pictures. SHHHHWING! Why not??? Both girls look gorgeous and posed in several outfits and positions. We were all tired from our long day and turned in early.

I really loved sleeping with Melanie. She is such a cuddler....and more than once I awoke in the night to pinch myself, knowing where I was and who I was with. It was obvious that Melanie was not going to let me try anything with her sister in the room, and I kinda felt the same way.

The next morning, I awoke about 6am....and Melanie was so cute. I spent about an hour holding her in my arms....and then we got up. This was my second toda la noche in two days....and it looked like this one was going to end like the first with no action....but just like the first....it's always good to be prepared because you never know when the coach is going to point down the bench at you and say "Astro.....get in the game!"

Melanie sweetly asks me if I would like to acompany her to the shower. Alana hears that and says "ohhhhhh you are going to take a shower together....how sweeeeeeet." And it WAS sweet. I was not expecting anything to happen. Melanie did like she had done the previous many times we had showered, and began by washing me all over. She referred to "my friend" saying....ohhhh good morning to my friend...and of course her friend rose to the occasion. She then proceeded to give me the best of everything. I was stunned and in heaven. I had never done anything like that in the shower, but the only worry I had was slipping and falling. After we were through I sat on the little ledge while Melanie tenderly shampooed my hair. Dear God....help me....I am falling for this one. !!!

Melanie, Alana and I had a great breakfast and began the breakneck trip down the mountain. Mel needed to get back home soon because she is a college student and had a test at 1pm. She promised to come back to see me at the Presidenta as soon as she was through.

Now remember one thing about Melanie. After my intial negotiation with her at the Del Ray she had never brought up money again. All of these things I did with her were freebies. Now I considered it a freebie if a girl does anything with you where money is not discussed. I may go ahead and pay her something later....usually to help with an expense but not for the activities itself. So ALL of this time I spent with Melanie she never asked me for a dime. But on the car ride home I count out 80,000 cllnes and place it in her sweet little hand. She looks up surprised and says "thank you baby" and puts the money in her purse. She never counted it. I did not have to do it....I just wanted to do it.

I return to the Presidente for one last night and all my old friends are there. I even run into Danny from the night before last and tell him about my drunken girl friend Big Momma....a night that could have ended badly but made a great recovered. I also find my little shoe shine friend outside Andres and his sister Lise. Andrews is a nice banned word and tells me he turned 16 just today. I look at his shoes and see they are torn and tattered. After he does my shoes for the third time this week, I walk to the corner shoe store and price out a new pair of nike's for the banned word, but when I return he is gone. Maybe I will see him again.

So.....my tales are almost complete. I have had more fun and more memories than I can remember. In fact I am glad I decided to post these trip reports everyday, because I know if I had waited till I returned I would not have remembered half of this stuff. As I sit now it is about 2pm and I am at the internet cafe down the street. I have no desire to go back to the Del Rey or NF. My one special babe is coming back for me in an hour or so....and she is all I am thinking about now.

It's my last night in Costa Rica....will Melanie and I score once last time? Will I cry like a baby when I say good bye to her tonight? Stay tuned, as tales of Astroglides adventures continue....on a computer near you!
