Day 1

USA | Thursday, 30 August 2007 | Views [290] | Comments [2]

We arrived at the airport way too early. When they tell you to come 2 to 3 hours early, not very necessary. The flight to Housten was quick mainly becasue we slept. The next was similar except for the beautiful views of Costa Rica below. From the second we got off the plane we were shoved into immegration like cattle. Joey was the lucky one who slipped us into the citizen line. Tehy didn't ask any questions and we were out in the rain in two minutes flat. A taxi driver found us and we found out halfway through the ride he really didn't know were he was going. He had to stop and ask for directions a few times. It was the craziest cab ride because we were passing multiple cars in the middle lane, and jumping curbs to get onto the freeway. But somehow we felt safe. He turned out to be really helpful because he stopped t find out exactly where we needed to wait in Puriscal. We had two hours to wait with all of our luggage on. So we stumbled around aimlessly until we found a Bank. Everyone was very helpfull, but we have never gotten so many strange looks. No one knew any english, but still wanted to help. When the bus finally arrived we were so tired the we couldn't keep our eyes open, neither could our bus driver. He was pretty good though driving a school bus on dirt roads over landslides. When we finally got to the ranch we were offered a cerveca and had a fantastic meal of empinadas, salad, guacomole, rice and beans. After dinner we past out from exhaustion.

You're alive!!! OK, I knew that, but it's great to hear of your travels and tribulations. Taxi drivers are the same wherever you go. Keep the reports coming.
And the photos are great.

Love - Da
