Quick Update

Lounging around, reading books, meeting norweigen/sweedish/belgian girls, hanging out with two Kiwi´s, amazing views, breathtaking drinking games (try saying ¨fuzzy duck¨ or ¨ducky fuzz¨ after a few beers) cooking our own food, bike trekks, coconuts, local sugar-cane rum, Imperial beer, sleeping in a hammock, torrential downpours, not spending money like I did in Bangkok.

Cheers,
Josh

Pura Vida

After leaving the capital city of San Jose yesterday afternoon, I hopped on a 5 hour bus ride headed for Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. It´s asmall little beach town in the southern part of the country on the Carribean side. It´s gorgeous here, and reminds me a lot of Tahiti. I´m sleeping on a hammock for $5 a night in a cool little place that reminds me of the Club Bali Hi.

I sat next to a kid named Josh on the bus, and we met some New Zealanders as well so we´ve just been hanging out lounging around. Tomorrow we might make a trip down to Panama to get another stamp on our passports. We´ve heard great things about a small island called Bocas del Toros, and feel the need to investigate further.

Costa Rica is beautiful, wish my stay could be longer, Imperial Beer is fantastic...blows Corona out of the water.

Mas Tarde,
Josh

TEXAS

6 hours in texas off to CR

Off to Costa Rica

A month or so ago, Camille sent me an email with cheap flights to Central and South America. Having been back in the country for about two months at that point I was clearly feeling stagnant, and dying for another stamp on my passport. So without much hesitation, I called Smith and asked if he's like to join me on this mini-adventure. Unfortunately, he has entered the life of a young professional, and he told me he wouldn't be able to accompany me.

So as Smith started his first day of work today, I just finished packing my bags, and am headed to South Station to hop on the Chinatown bus to NYC where I'll rage all night and head to JFK Airport at 5AM for my 7:50 flight to Dallas, Texas. I'll then sit around there for 6 hours until boarding my connecting flight from Texas to San Jose, Costa Rica where a man named Fernando will be picking me up in a green mini-van and taking me to a hostel.

That's about all I have planned for now. Future plans may or may not include surfing, exploring of rain forests, active volcanoes, coffee picking (similar to rice picking I believe), horseback riding, and of course sampling the local cuisine and imbibing upon the countries finest brews. (not coffee)

Adios,
Josh
