... d gone a few feet further I'd have been in the drink!

Hotel was cheap because it had no windows maybe, just screened in orifices that admitted no bugs but plenty of noise.

Enjoyed a great foccacia bread at the biggest hotel in town, right on the river - the Italians that formerly had El Vago now work there. Not too pricey either.

Had breakfast at the Mexican - great to have chorizo again. Had a good chat about Mexico and its beer - we're in ...

... to get to the free beach access and aa slightly shorter one returning from the main park entrance which was closer to the action - worth investing 2-3 bucks each way on a taxi.

The Whales Tail, a rocky promontory shaped as described, was supposedly good for snorkelling but trying to get to the outside edge was risky on the large expanse of jagged rock, yet alone trying to enter in all that surge - you would need fins with booties and to be brave or stupid ...

After dropping Bev off at the airport we headed straight out of town. Of course this took us a good hour due to traffic and the inability to get proper directions! The map I we had purchased at a hotel the day when we came into the country was supposedly up-to-date, but so far I had counted around 10 mistakes. The San Jose portion was no different. By the time we got out of the city it was around 3 PM so we only had a few hours of daylight left and we still had to go ...

... for myself. not a bunch of gold, just flakes. i wasnt that good at it, but it was fun. i later learned that pina also taught pam how to pan for gold too. then pina went crazy a couple years ago and chopped his friend up with a machette and went to jail, but now he is sane again she told me. the next day i went up the other river and continued to follow it into the park. i swam in the river and loved the view. i hiked about 5 hours each day.the next ...

... the southwest monsoons, but other than that I'm gone until August 2009. Woah. So for the next 17 days, I will continue to pack up the house (Craig Fletcher and his girlfriend are renting it for the next 18 months), do my personal and the business tax returns, make sure all the old Hot Dot stuff is out of the office and the space is allocated for the contents of a 20' container arriving in mid-February carrying new packaging and displays for ...

... of paved, but not for long. It was narrow with pavement strips and chunks here and there. This part of it was tricky then it got challenging when they spread loose, chunky road filler (rocks and dirt) on a steep up hill section. I was following a truck who stopped in front of me while meeting another vehicle coming down the hill. uggghh. To make a long story short, I dropped the bike ...

Dominical Moving on from Quepos, we decided to break up a longer bus trip to Uvita by stopping for one night in Dominical, a little tourist town that attracts a lot of surfer "dudes." I can see why; the waves for surfing were always present. While taking a walk along the shady road there, we spotted a team of leafcutter ants that had actually worn a path in ...

... of all the bars and crazy people walking around, but it was quickly decided that this was just a stopover town so we prepared to leave the next day. We both wanted to hike up to the radio towers behind the city and so we did that before leaving town. Some amazing views from the top and the hike up was the real deal because it was through natural forest with faint trail to follow.
