Central America

Well,
I think I might have partially figured out this journal post thing. To my extreme frustration and satisfaction.

I{m currently reading A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemmingway and I must say he{s quite an interesting chap.

Spent 12 hours travelling 300 miles today, a testament to the fine transportation system here in Central America. But I did cross a border and it was a total pain in the ass and got to try some new beers and they{re no good, and I had hoped to get to Fortuna today, where you can see lava from this crazy active volcano, but no dice. I{m stuck in this town with awful internet, but maybe I can get a picture or two uploaded.

But dinner was good. Dos por uno pizza and it was good. My new thing is a glass of red wine with pizza. Very tasty. Pizza and wine doesn{t sound right, but Pizza y Vino sounds better, so say it like that unless you are ordering cuz they wont get it.

Anyway, I was rewarded for my hours of travel by a hot shower this evening, my first since such a long time ago that I dont remember and I think the one I might remember wasnt even that really hot anyway

Costa Rica is pretty nice.....looks at times like 1960{s USA a bit run down, and at times like Rural America. Which both get ya kinda feeling good.

But I got up at 4am to catch a bus today because these two girls had to catch the earliest bus and its always easier to travel in a group and right after we got on the bus and drove 2km which at about 10km an hour wasnt really RIGHT after but one of them realized she left her money belt in the hotel and they had to get off and the whole reason we got up early was because of them and they blew it. But at least it wasnt my money belt.

So life is good down here. The weather is almost perfect. You sweat in the sun, and its ncie in the shade and a breeze feels great and all that jazz.

Tomorrow I get to Fortuna and at night you sit in hot springs and watch lava spew from the volcano and i think i might like that....

Audios,

Ryan
