Day 10ish
The dates, day and times are all running together. I have lost all sense of time! Haha. We left Puerto Viejo yesterday and went back to San Jose for two days. Puerto Viejo was incredible and I know we’ll go back through there before we leave. The beaches were gorgeous, it was nice to finally get to the beach! I can’t even begin to explain everything we did, so I’ll make it short: stayed at a kick-ass hostel, slept in hammocks, smoked tons of green, met amazing people, petted sloths, played with monkeys (and having them jump all over me and suck my hair), beaches, sun tan, bike ride to beach hunt, delicious food, explored. I have met so many interesting and special people already. One of the people we met, Richard, I know will be my friend for a long time. We met him at the hostel we were staying at in Puerto Viejo and he lives in Heredia, right outside of San Jose. He has been the most generous, helpful, patient, fun and amazing person and I am grateful we met him. The three of us have become fast close friends and he will be coming with us when we leave tomorrow for Monteverde. I am looking forward to us continuing our travels together! Another one of the people we met there, Ignacio, lives in San Jose and he was leaving P.V. to come back here for his 21st birthday and invited us to come along, which is why we left Puerto Viejo when we did. We didn’t want to make any commitments but had we not made this one, we probably would have slothed away there. lol. So, last night we met up with Ignacio and tons of his friends and went out partying. Richard met up with us too and we had an awesome time! We are laying low in the hostel tonight, recovering from the last two nights of little sleep and lots of drinking! haha. YES, we are being careful, YES, we are being safe. I am looking forward to going north to the cloud forests! We have heard it is absolutely gorgeous (after everything we’ve seen so far, how could it not be?) and I can’t wait to see it! I will miss the beaches of Puerto Viejo and the slowed down lifestyle there and I know we’ll end up back there again. I haven’t blogged very much and feel like there is so much to say but I honestly don’t know where to start! I wish I could translate the profound experiences and thoughts I have right now, but I can’t. So I’ll sign off for today. Off to Monteverde tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
