Travel E-mails
An archive of e-mails from my Centeral/South America trip.5/10/2006
Felice Navidad from Costa Rica
Merry Christmas!
Costa Rica... mmm... La Pura Vida. excuse any ramblings up and comming... hung over after 15 hours of drinking which inevitably ended in me having spent far too much money and being drunk upon waking... why am I telling you this (hi mom).
I already wrote this email once, but lost it due to bad clicking... doesn't that suck.. Only have 10 minutes before a surf lesson too, strapped for time.. danger!
Well, after Granada, I went to Island Ometepe, cool volcanic island with alot of native history which I have no time to get into. Met a bunch of people, saw a waterfall and a lot of monkies who liked pineapples, bought 10 fish (about 15 pounds) for $1.50 canadian.. then headed to San Juan Del Sur (why do I feel like I wrote an e-mail about this already..?) Chilled there for 2 days mostly in a hostel, made a ton of food with some isrealis and a kiwi that I met, then came here. Tamarindo. Tamagringo to some. Crazy times.. everyone here is in tourist mode, not backpacker mode... lots of rich kids come to party in a foreign country... lots of people have crazy stories too... prostitution is legal here and hookers don't act like hookers, so a lot of people seem to THINK they're just chatting with a normal girl, who offers to take them home... then asks for money.. yeah, lots of such stories... no such stories from myself though, I've just been chilling, partying and swimming... having a crazy-awsome time... and spending WAY too much money (Damn is it expencive here).
Anyhow, I have a surf lesson to get to..
So, Happy Christmas, Merry Honica, See you next year (well, some of you).
