Tico Time
Sunday, December 18th, 2005We made it out of Nicaragua, no thanks to the border officials. It’s a highly confusing process for which we actually paid a guide. You get the feeling you need the guide here more than in the jungle. At least in the wild, the animals only want to eat you. If you need to cross the border, ask for Javier. He’s good.
Last night we camped in Parque Nacional Santa Rosa and saw iguanas, parakeets, frogs, howler monkeys, butterflies, and the biggest darned insects you’d ever want to see. They were these semi-cockroach-looking bugs that were as big as my palm. They were friendly, though, unlike the women who worked in the park snack bar. Menu: rice and beans. Want something else? Too bad.
