That's our trip to Costa Rica. I found it to be an indescribably beautiful place, a country which makes you want to learn about the environment, the rainforest, because they're just so damned pretty. It's cheaper to travel in Costa Rica than America. Everybody speaks Spanish, which is easy and fun to learn. On the other hand, the roads suck.
Public transportation is a drag.
The food is not very exciting. And we spent more money than planned, but hey, you always do. All in all, I was enormously grateful for the chance to visit Costa Rica, and I'm thankful I could share it with such a great traveling partner. 27 December Last night, we slept in the middle of a real-life plague of mosquitoes, an annual migration of insects from Nicaragua through the town of La Cruz, where we were unlucky enough to spend the night. I mean, this place was El Hell Hotel .
