So here I am back at my old friend Hostel Pangea in San Jose. Not much to report since yesterday. Spent last night with a few german girls and 4 american guys who lived up to every stereotype about americans you can think of. At first I thought they were just joking, but as the night wore on it never stopped and I just kept getting less and less impressed with them. Good thing I've met so many nice Americans or I would start thinking that stereotypes are always justified.
My bus this morning was a direct bus from Quepos to San Jose... I know, only one bus, what a luxury!! Unfortunately, the supposedly 4 hour bus got stopped in construction (or something like it... I couldn't quite figure out why traffic had stopped for so long when we finally drove by it) for almost 2 whole hours! Without moving! Ugh... but anyways, I made it fine and now I'm getting the last touches of organization needed to pick up Stacey and make sure we make it to Mál País tomorrow without any hitches. I forsee tonight being another relaxing night with no plans of leaving the hostel or getting into any adventures or anything.
So since I have no news today and the internet is free, I have a present for all of you. I decided to make a map of where I've been:
Sorry for the crudeness of it, but was just using paint to edit the map I found. Yellow dots are the places I actuall stayed and the blue dots are places I had to change buses. Notice all the blue dots getting to and from Tortuguero on the Caribbean coast. While I have by no means seen the whole country, I think I've done a pretty good job of getting a good representation of it. I'm surfing on the very southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula which is the big peninsula on the northwest corner of the country. It was kind of a fun little project, hope you enjoy looking at it!That it for now I guess. Talk to you later!

Hi Kaila! I've just been catching up on your blog and it looks like you're having an awesome time. Keep the pictures coming; they're spectacular! Sucks about the doofus Americans but I bet that makes you more grateful for all the other kind and friendly people you meet. Have you picked up any Spanish so far?
Oh, and I'm proud of you for visiting the snake place! I hope your meet-up with Stacey goes well and I look forward to hearing about surfing!
