San Jose

We arrived to San Jose about 230 in the afternoon. We knew where we wanted to stay at, (they supposedly had hot showers, and we hadnt had one in 3 weeks). Turns out, they moved to a different city or something, and so we walked several kilometers in the wrong direction, and out of town away from the other hostels for nothing. lol. well...part of traveling we surmised. We ended up finding this awesome hostel with super hot showers (which we didnt know until Joshua took a shower, and came back telling me I was going to be so excited.. I thought he was messing with me at first). They also had a rooftop bar, and a pool. Also, I had the best margharita of my life so far here. It tasted like lemon meringue pie a bit. so goood!!

We also stayed in our first dorm here. It was a super cool experience. It was a great way to meet people, we had some "pillow talk" until after 11 last night, with our dorm mates (a girl from Australia, and a guy fro Chile), just talking about our countries, and the world. Super cool. But, when our cool dorm mates left this am, and we were left with two older, creepier dudes, we decided to take our packs and head for Puerto Viejo. Also, city life is fun for a bit, but in reality it sometimes iis a lot of swerving in and out of people, dirty and smelly streets, tons of traffic and horns, and expensive prices. We took a bumpy 5 hour bus ride through mountains, and it was gorgeous! Of course we both took some naps along the way..something about Costa Rican buses, they make you sleepy!
