May 25, 2005Preparing for the JungleCoca was hot and steamy even at 7:30 in the morning, and in an instant we were covered in sweat. Awaiting the arrival of Max, our task for the morning was to find the tour company he had been in...Read this update May 24, 2005From the Mountains to the JungleOne of the nice things about traveling for more than a few weeks is the opportunity to change your mind at a whim.

Unfortunately for him, the boy had red hair, freckles and a strange name that nobody else in the whole...Read this update May 06, 2005Of Showers, Monsters and MonkeysAlthough I had promised to call my friend Karol upon arrival in San Jose, I thought it would be too late at night and we went to "Tranquilo Backpackers" instead. I am mentioning it because it is a great place...Read this update May 05, 2005Beach Bummers in Puerto Viejo...Our first stop in Costa Rica was the Caribbean beach town of Puerto Viejo which I visited and loved 5 years ago. In a way it was nice to be somewhere familiar, though I am using the word "familiar" in...Read this update May 01, 2005Costa Rica entry-turned-rantThe allure of more beach life in Costa Rica gave us the motivation we needed to continue our journey, and to face another three straight days of bus travels.
