so after working two weeks on the farm up at volcan poas and getting my debit card from the states, i am ready for the playa! i am going to pack super light (i think) and heading from Alajuela for Puntarenas to catch a one hour ferry ride to the Nicoya Penisula. i am really playing this whole trip by ear, hence "beach-bumming". i want to stay in Montezuma for a little while and hopefully find some other backpackers and see if they want to come along, but i am really not sure if that will fall through... their are some places that i definitely want to see on this trip like cabo blano national park, playa (im going to butcher this one) tarminado and the nation park there. i want to go to the barra honda caves, and finish at santa rosa national park. on my way back to the central valley i think it would be cool to stop at volcan arenal, the most active volcano in central america, and stay at a place with an excellent view of the lava spillng over the side of the volcano.
the big soccer game is tomorrow. it's san jose vs alajuela, they are the two big teams here in costa rica. they have both been league champions forever except in 1992 when some other team won the title. i am invited to a party for the match with a bunch of young guys who are at least 5 years older than me. should be fun. then on sunday i have a tennis match in the morning against one of Venessa's (Tony's wife) relatives who is a really good player. in the last two weeks i ahve played 4 indoor soccer games. it is really big down here (who would've thought?) i kind of have the disadvantage because i can't tell the othe guys on the field where i am at or what to do becasue my spanish isn't that strong... yet.
life is good down here, not a lot to worry about. i'll be back in 3ish months when oregon heats up with another summer. im gonna' be soo tan for next fall.
