i'm in Costa Rica now.... let the mystery begin!

well, the talk about the roads was not an exageration. they are 'rustic' and crazy. i made it without being crushed or pushed over a mountain. suffice it to say - imagine any car chase scene with no guard rails and then play bumper cars on it. i drove about 50 miles and it only took me three hours. its almost all straight up or down with winding switch backs. i thought i was lost but only because i never saw any towns listed on the map. (i guess i blinked each time?)

im in Jaco on the pacific coast. i got in right at dusk. i am on my way now to find that perfect lobster dinner! i hope you are enjoying your vacations too.

day one and totally wrung out. will write more tomorrow.

Costa Rica and other crazed things

Well ive done it again... i got tickets for a trip to Costa Rica. i still dont speak spanish. i have no reservations. rather no hotel reservations. i have slight misgivings about my very sudden departure. where will i go? what will i do?

my 'plan' is to rent a 4 wheel drive and go to the coast. find a hammock and fall asleep with my book. stay there till i finally read something - then move down the coast. ultimately i will go to see the volcano Arenal. everything ive seen printed guarantees it to be a must see location.

well, thanks for dropping by. check back later to see some photos from C.R.
