... spy a bottle of vodka, which looks like it has been sitting there for a while; clearly not a popular alcohol in this part of Costa Rica. Linda agrees to have a Vodka Tonic, instead. Okay, we have the alcohol, now we need a mixer. By now, the whole bar is ...

... to have flowers! I took a bus to Orosi - a nice small village, surrounded by mountains, very calm. I spent the night at Montaña Linda, with a English girl in the room, $7.5. All the guest sit on the veranda, eat and talk. 16/2 - Turriable-SJO I went ...
