I'M BACK!!!
It's really incredible to be back here in Costa Rica. It is Semana Santa in the country, meaning "Holy Week" which is equivalent to spring break, so everyone is out having fun this week--including me!
I arrived in San Jose around 1pm, however I didn't make it to my Airbnb until after 4pm because my plane had to taxi for over two hours! There was a big back up on the tarmac.
Once I got to San Jose, I headed back to my old school Veritas to visit some friends. I saw Drew, Jake, Chris, and Charlie amongst others. I got lunch from Don Ro--an empanada con pollo. It was delicious!
That night I went out with a group of friends to La Concha and danced with a Tico! He was surprisingly not a good dancer... I was just slightly disappointed! Haha!
The next day consisted of basically the same thing--hanging out at school and seeing friends, as well as going to the mall. The real fun started on Monday! I bought a bus ticket and headed for Puerto Viejo early Monday morning.
Puerto Viejo is in Limon, near the Costa Rica-Panama border. It's a beach town, and while it's very expensive, there are ways around that! I rented a tent at Rocking J's--a hostel along the beach.
It was SO hot in the tent, but at only $8 a night I couldn't complain! I was only there for two nights anyways.
I saw Charlie and his friend Zach (Ziggy) in Puerto Viejo and we went met a friend named Daniel from Holland. He was hilarious! We went to the beach both days (yes, of course I got sunburned...) and we found a restaurant to have dinner at called Hot Rocks. They had live music and dancing, which was my divertido!
Puerto Viejo was very very fun, but almost TOO hot. I was only there until Monday, when I, along with the group with Tico Viajero, went white water rafting!
