Puerto Viejo

this message is messed up because i am typing on a spanish keyboard and cant use the keys very well. please bare with me. ok because i have these meetings coming up with jose this weekend i decided to take off and try and do some sightseeing while i was here. i got on a bus bound for peurto viejo and the carribean side of costa rica. i have offically been on both coasts as i had hoped and as usual its been a crazy experience. droe through the cloud forrest and through some really bad areas. i waited and waited to arrive in a town that was at least a little bit commercialized but the bus stopped i got off and was in the middle of a town built on dirt roads that sits right on the ocean. it was getting dark and i just started looking for some place that would have a place for me to crash with my back pack. its a rastafarian community and life here is different. i went to a few places that were booked that were real shacks and finally met some people from scandanavia that spoke english and had just come from cuba that day. they were in the same spot so we kind of teamed up and finally the room i got is a cabina right near the ocean with a hammock and a small room and bathroom. 15 dollars a day and it even had hot water all day. i had to sleep under a mosquito net and it was really crazy, less than 5 feet from where i was sleeping there were crabs coming out of the ground at night and animals etc making all kinds of noises. Very different.

i am at a PACKED internet cafe right now but i have no phone and very little access to one so i will update when i get back to san jose.

i am taking pictures and will have them uploaded at some point this weekend.
