How Costa Rica Affected My Life Dear Shane,
First of all, your travel experience and your writings are very impressive. I looked at quite a few. I haven't traveled much in my life but I do love to learn about cultural aspects of each society. If you would like to take a look at some of my stories about my life in Costa Rica come by and visit! http://spaces.msn.com/goodliving/
Best,
Jill
cheers to paradise found hey you! I'm glad to hear that everything is going well and that costa rica isn't disappointing you. you better be taking some pictures! as much as I love my new job working at Surrey you sure are making me jealous! are you coming back or have you made a work-live arrangement on a beach somewhere? well I won't keep you on the computer when you could be outside somewhere. enjoy your trip!! :-)
well shian...sounds like you got quite the life goin over there. still urge you to head this way...but fuck...with monkeys in your room!!!well, i might not even be able to leave a place like that. haha.
Arenal/ La Fortuna If you get a chance stop in at La Fortuna and see Arenal Volcano. It is super cool. There is a bitchin discoteque there that goes off on Friday and Sat nights...its called Volcon Look Discoteque. It has a small soccerfield attached to it. Reallly cool. Don't miss out on Baldi Hot Springs too. Sooooo tight.
If you want to meet some cool dudes there stop into Hotel La Amistad and say whatup to Selim, Pilincho, Romel, and Edward. These guys are studs. If you tell them Gregorio y Jason sent you guarenteed they will show you a good time if you like partying. Its good to have locals to cruise and party with.
bring back pics and beer! Sounds like you are having a hell of a time, just remember the woking man at home.Ejoy the rest of your trip,and bring back pics and stories.The beer is on ice when you get back(real Ontario beer).
Groovey! Not to auger to deep into the alcohol/alcoholic/alcoholism thing but 2 beers is 1 beer better than you can do back here! Ouch!!
Sounds like you ARE in paradise. Say hi to Melanie for me. Tell her to write. Turquoise blu 82 degree water is cool (in the hip sorta way, not temp), 12' high waves are cooler, and dolphins are the coolest.... bastard!!!
Enjoy it dude... and take care.

My money is on alcoholism Shane-dude,
At a buck a beer, the thinking mans bet would be that you will hit alcoholism long before you achieve bankruptcy... and this is knowing your rate of pay!!!
Take care dude.

Costa Rica?! Whew! This is how I find out where the hell all of my family is?! Good on ya - can you mail me a couple of those beers - I can keep them cold for you for when you get back...if you ever do! Enjoy. Jim

i recognize that travel is life's true and only teacher, as it delivers "real" experience. i will never stop travelling, i may physically sit idle for a while to collect the means to get away, but my thoughts will never become idle or routinized, they will always wonder. i despise the atypical "western" lifestyle, and welcome oddity and random. my thoughts are mine, i refuse what i dislike and i accept what i think is warranted. mother nature is my religion, beer is my god. peAce. ... full info
