Hostel

I´ve arrived in San Jose. I´m here for the night before catching another bus to Tamarindo. Including the boat, the taxis, the bus, and the short walk accross town, it´was nearly 8 hours from Panama to my new ¨home¨ for the night. Tomorrow I have another 5+ hours getting to Tamarindo. I thought about doing it all tomorrow, but wise (I think) opted out.

I´m staying at my first ¨real¨ hostel of this trip. In Puerto Viejo and Bocas del Torro, I found other cheap sleeping arrangements.

Anyhow- random people, free internet, pancake breakfast, styling decor, books, games, laundry service, etc... All the true world traveler could want. Now, when I decide I want to sleep - I might feel otherwise (since I dont´t know if-when the ¨quiet¨ starts).

Anyhow, nice little place to call home for $9. I wish I wasn´t packing so much stuff and that I could take a few weeks to Hostel Hop and see stuff. But, alas - that´s not what this trip is about. Remember - I´m here to study Spanish.

Still... I think I need to start planning a Hostelling Adventure. It was super fun in 1999 in Scandanavia and with Ryan through other parts of Europe.
