Even though this town was only 150 miles from where I was in Nicaragua, it took me 12 hours to get here. Between getting stuck at the border for 4 hours, 5 different buses and excruciating slow rides the time added up. For some reason this almost broke me. The best part is that in Costa Rica when you buy a bus ticket with the time of departure it does not mean a thing! I learned this after showing up to catch my bus and seeing a line with more people than the bus could hold. This happened to me twice in one day! At first I thought it was a fluke but the second time I ended up asking the ticket lady why I could not get on a bus that I paid for. All I could understand was the printed time on the ticket "is not important" But standing in line for hours is!
I finally ended up in Playa Flamingo where my friend James lives. There is not a whole lot to report about 7 days here because I decided that I needed a small break from my constant schedule of travel and enjoyed movies and air con
So in the end I had a great time relaxing in air con and catching up with 2 friends. I know this makes for a boring blog especially since I took only 3 pictures but it had to be done!

a. James and me!
. Pretty much everyday was the same for me..... Get up, go to James cousinīs restaurant and have an ice coffee, James goes to work, I go for a walk on the beach, I watch movies in air con, James comes home from work and then we hit the bars. This was my schedule for 7 days. I also have another friend ( Greg Kamphouse, roommate from San Diego) that lives in Costa Rica but I never knew where.... turns out he lives 50 meters away from James. So coming to this town worked out perfectly because I got to see 2 friends who by total chance lived in the same town. So in the end I had a great time relaxing in air con and catching up with 2 friends. I know this makes for a boring blog especially since I took only 3 pictures but it had to be done!
