Pirates of the Caribbean

Hi all. Last night, I enjoyed a feast and a couple beers in San Jose for a whopping total of....... $3! Went out with a Canadian and two Argentines who gave me the inside scoop on several suggestions of what to see in Costa Rica.

Today I write from a lovely internet cafe in Puerto Viejo. A bumpy 4.5 hour bus ride dropped me off in this rasta beach town along the Caribbean. I'm staying at this crazy hostel that consists of a variety of tents, tree houses and hammocks! I elected for the hammock. Spent the afternoon walking along a beautiful deserted beach sandwiched between large waves and a thick jungle. Puerto Viejo has a lot of character and I enjoy the reggea resonating from every restaurant and store front.
