Bocas Del Toro

Hey folks sadly the trip is wrapping up. It feels like we had just left home, though there is a sense of home sickness in me there is just too much to see and do around the world.

We went to Bocas and it was nuts. Bocas is an area that has several islands all clumped together, to see stuff you have to pay for boat taxis. On our first day we slept, we had taken an over night bus that was made i am sure for midgets. neither me or Byron could fit into the seat and when the person in front reclined it was impossible, so i sat with my legs in the center of the bus and Byron sat across. the next few days include surfing on a beach that was 2 km long and had 12 - 24 people on it, dolphin watching and snorkeling. The hostel that we stayed at was a blast and everyone that we met were super nice. Happy hour was 7-8 with .50$ bottles of beer, we filled tables with them. At a designated time we usually left the hostel bar and went over to the club/bars and twice bought bottles of rum and danced/drank the night away. (more happened and we will have to wait to see if evidence surfaces, until then i have to deny everything)

On friday we caught on of the coolest boat rides from bocas to the Costa Rican boarder, it was beautiful. boat went quite fast up a river and had some sharp turns lots of neat trees and wildlife, certainly the best way to leave a country behind for sure. We traveled to San Jose and had a chill out night and Byron prepared to leave. The next day Byron and I parted ways him to the airport and I to La Fortuna to see the active volcano. Yesterday, a couple of new yorkers and I booked a tour to repel down some waterfalls, and ride a cool zip line.

sigh just a couple more days and I will be home...... see you all then
