Gearing up for the next adventures

Not much going on the last few days just been hanging out in San Jose, but I thought I would give a brief update. Besides reading a lot and walking around the city what we really have been doing is trying to “litter box train” Flip Flop. Since she is going to be a traveling cat and live in the...

Shitty, Kitty, Shit

Last night we left Flip Flop in the van since we could not take her in the hostel with us (with food and water and cool temperatures). We checked on her several times before bed. She was so cute sleeping on the dashboard. In the morning she was still there sleeping. Oooohhhh. But wait, not so...

San Jose

We went from Leon at 3 in the morning and we almost overslept but made it. After another 10 hour bus drive we came to San Jose and since we didn’t have any idea where to go we followed some American guys to a hostel they knew of. Since this one didn’t really float our boat we decided to go to a...

Take the Long Way Home

Santa was having trouble with Colombian customs. "Where's the snow, Saint Nick?" the agents asked as they gutted his big red suitcase like a dead animal. Santa smiled and gave a shrug. They found nothing and eventually stamped his North Pole passport, sending him on his way. It was my...

The Final Farewell

So here I am, back in Tranquillo Backpackers, immersing myself in frantically typing up my route over the past few months and trying not to dwell on the fact that I am again all alone and boyfriendless for at least the next four months. Boohoo! Tomorrow still seems rather unreal - South...

The End of the Beginning

In San Jose we settled into Tranquillo Backpackers - a nice hostel in a less than nice part of town. Our guide book warned us that it was a booming red-light district by night, but even when we arrived early evening, the hostel manager was horrified to see us leave the car unattended - "Go,...

You take the high road... and we'll take the slow road... actually, you broke it... better get a new one

So after four days of indulgent comfort (well for me anyways... Chris of course being a large dermal scratch zone), we left Quepos to go to the high country to track down the most beautiful bird in the world (marketers eat your heart out) - the "Resplendent Quetzel". Now the Quetzel is the...
