Small village on the main road but Tucan Hotel set back. Not cheap and only 2 showers/toilets shared between up to 4 people in treehouse, 4 in hammocks, multiple others camping plus 12 people in dorms when fully occupied. Female shower/toilet always full of men as bigger - thankfully came when quiet.

Cocked up the directions to the falls, Cascadas Verde & didn't turn left before hardware store. Ended up crossing the river ...

... the Moutain of Death.

The Moutain of Death is a mountain range on the InterAmerican Highway that got that name long before cars were around when people used to cross this moutain range by foot, horse, or donkey. Many people died back then and this moutain was almost the dealth of poor Wesley as well! We barely made it over the pass as Wesley was sputtering, blowing smoke, and wouldn´t go over 40 kms. We even pulled over and Devin replaced the fuel filter as ...

Anyway I was going to stay a week here but I ...

... The ability to cycle up steep hills with a passenger on your handlebars? Nope, they do that in Nicaragua too. Again, I don't want to offend the locals. This is a genuine question: what defines the Costa Ricans and sets them apart from other Central American nations? Answers on a postcard please...

... makes me bring, I rooted to the bottom of my bag and came up with my ticket to freedom, my U.S. citizenship card.

I could only watch as he crumpled up my last resort and threw at me, almost yelling: "Do you realize that it is against the law to show an officer a photocopy of a legal document?!" Of course, not realizing this, I was speechless. That was okay, because ...

... ground while meticulously cutting up the leaves of one poor tree. What I liked about dominical was that our room was right on the beach, so a quick swim didn't take any planning. Also, the town had a much less developed feel - our guidebook descibed it as what Costa Rica would've been like 20 years ago. Houses, hotels and sodas (diners) mixed amongst ...

This place is so laid back that all we wanted to do was mellow out in hammocks, read on the beach, and walk up and down the muddy road (which made for some very acrobatic falls).
