Sunset in Guanacaste
This was originally posted on my old blog, ngmarleyDOTnet, on Jun 22, 2009 @ 09:37 CST. That blog is now defunct and the content is slowly being absorbed into this one. This is one of a few posts I wrote when traveling Latin America during the summer of 2k9.
So, I’ve been in Costa Rica for almost a month now and not posted anything here yet. I hope to break that trend soon.
Since I’ve been here, I’ve:
- Lived in 2 different houses in 2 different suburbs of San José, the capital of Costa Rica.
- Attended the Costa Rica-USA football (soccer) match.
- Done volunteer work at the Food for the Hungry office in Costa Rica (computer stuff).
- Met several people from all over the world, most of whom are not Ticos (people from Costa Rica call themselves Ticos).
I’ve not:
- Gone to any of the beaches.
- Seen an active volcano.
My travel partner is Joel, an Englishman from a village south of London. We will be taking a bus to Panama this Thursday (25 Jun 2009). It’s been good to get to know the capital city of this country, but I’m ready to get out of Costa Rica for awhile. Or maybe forever.
