First off before we got to Jaco we had a several hour layover in San Jose before our bus picked us up at the Radison. Possibly the nicest hotel in the San Jose. Being that we were a couple of white Americans, with some time to kill. We just walked in past the lobby and…
Porte Viejo, The Undeveloped Beach Town
Arrived in Porte Viejo no problem. Probably the easiest travel day yet. Saw some monkeys on the way in which was very cool. First night in went to a tex mex bar and got some delicious cubre libre (rum and coke) Kept making me think of that one episode of Big Bang Theory. Then we…
Arenal The Hidden Volcano
We got in to Arenal yesterday and man has it been a full two days. First damn Costa Rican keyboards and their messed up key placement. We got in to the town after a very lovely boat right from Monte Verde. Super peaceful and relaxing. Then got to the hotel grabbed a bite, and moved…
Monte Verde Beautiful Yet Cloudy
The trip to Monte Verde was pretty uneventful… Well sort of got a flat tire on the bus. No fun but quick 10 minute change and we were rocking. Got to Monte Verde after a very rocky road checked in to the hotel and explored a bit. Got some ¨Typical¨food aka what the natives would…
San Jose, A More Spanish Miami
So we wake up in San Jose, not a normal human being time, but at 6am when unbeknowst to us the train drives 10 feet past our very unsound proof room. Greg and I slept on and off for several hours. Perpetually being awoken but people walking on the street and that lovely train. Eventually…
Our Jorney To Costa Rica
First off you always forget something when traveling. This weeks forgetfulness was brought to you by not bring my very nice Tour Book. Lame. Anyway got to Chicago spent the night with some of Greg´s friends. Otherwise would have suffered mega parking fees in O´hare. Drove there the next day got in several hours in…
Yoga Teacher Training
My Goal is to post more so here goes. Remember how I have a new fond love of yoga over the past year? Well low and behold, I joined a teacher training program. It meets once a month and we pretty much go none stop for an entire weekend. By the end we’ll be doing…
Upcome and coming Costa Rica
I don’t write enough here. I think I lack the joy of college, hence my lack humor when I write now. I liked my amusing stories now I’m just not sure how to produce classic ones anymore. I suppose I could talk about the 2 am ultimate frisbee on the cedar rapids golf course that…
This and That
Its been a while… A lot has happened. Key point. I met the most amazing girl, and then she moved to Phoenix. She was brilliant, articulate, cultured, and ridiculously hot. She is pretty much the best I will probably ever have. Just utterly amazing, though quite exhausting. Sadly it lasted three weeks. Despite my hopes…
When will the Emo end?
Sometimes I feel ok. Like things aren’t so bad, but then other times I feel like my heart has been stabbed, that my future was erased. Maybe that’s where the pain came from, in my mind I had this girl who I loved greatly, beautiful children, a dog, a fenced yard, and now I see…
