So I’ve got a few minutes to do a quick recap of my four days in Costa Rica so far:

  • San Jose is nothing special and we got out as fast as we could, though not before we spotted a lady of the night in red ruffled undies
  • when I went to open the door to our room in San Jose (after midnight, since we got in late), I found two people sleeping, one of whom was startled awake by a stranger entering her room in the dead of night
  • our real room was 2  1/2, yeah as in two and a half
  • took the local public bus to La Fortuna, which took 2 hours longer than expected and broke down half way but I guess that’s what you get for $2.00
  • have been having rather rainy weather so unable to see lava flowing down the volcano but enjoyed an evening in the hotsprings, with giant slides
  • took a boat trip on the Rio Frio and saw anazing animals including caymans, lizards, sloths, turtles, tiny bats, many species of birds, and two species of monkeys
  • glad to report that I was not atacked by the monkeys
  • arrived in Santa Elena today and went ziplining through the cloud forest canopy.  never felt more alive in my life, flying hundreds of feet through the air at high speeds, seeing the lush green below
  • tomorrow it’s on to hanging bridges and a night walk through the cloud forest to see creepy crawlies
  • and then it’s BEACH TIME

Yeah, so good to get away from the snow.
