We made it to San Jose last night and I have half an hour before we head to the airport. We are at the Raddison in San Jose. It’s supposed to be near a museum and a park but there’s a major highway right outside the window and I went for a walk this morning …

Our last adventure this trip!
Wednesday morning we took a jungle river tour as a last adventure of our trip. Ivan had set us up a return ride with Brian for 2 pm, so not a lot of time for fun stuff as we had to get the scooter gassed up and returned to the rental place and pack up. …
Academic Probation
So, as it turns out, you really do pay traffic tickets at the bank here. It’s weird, but relatively straightforward. We got that taken care of fairly quickly this afternoon. It’s too bad that money isn’t being used to build two-lane bridges or sidewalks or something that people could use. I spent all morning in …
Not much to report
Today started slow, Emily had zoom meetings this morning so I listened to a book and watched the A/C repair people figure out they need a new compressor. He said he could fix it but it would be cheaper to buy a new one. It has to come from San Jose. The other day I …
Magic Chocolate Waterfall Tour
As you probably all read in Bill’s post, yesterday did not go our way. The AC is still broken and I doubt it will be fixed before we leave. We got stopped by the tourist police and now have to figure out how to pay a $200 ticket for not wearing helmets even though half …
Winding down
So we are winding down here, the ocean has taken an ugly turn. Red flags as far as the eye can see. Or at least all the beaches we went past that had flags. Emily did want to try this afternoon just down the way from us but she opted to not be a statistic. …
Slow and easy
Not much excitement went on today. We took a ride over to Puerto Viejo to get a picture of the sign about crocodiles. On the way there we had a run in with the law. Breaking the law… I was given a ticket for not wearing a helmet while driving the scooter. It was an …
One more dive!
This morning we went to breakfast and while we were eating our Air Conditioner stopped working. They are thinking there is a short somewhere. There was a guy that came and did some work at the box and they got it to work again then there was a loud pop from what I was told. …
Two Days of Snorkeling
We have had two really awesome days of snorkeling, but that doesn’t give me a lot to write about. I don’t take a camera when I snorkel because it’s too much trouble but I did pull some good pictures off the internet so you can see what I’m talking about. Punts Uva is going to …
Scuba and snorkeling before the swell come in!
Good day everyone!! Today I got to do a shore dive! I have to say I like shore diving more than most of my boat dives. I think some weren’t bad but the water was calm and clear. The difference is a boat dive is where they take you out to where you will dive, …
