Buenos Dias! Commence Laczak´s whirlwind trip in Costa Rica. I´m here at school before classes begin at 2... It´s 1 now, but 3 o´clock in the USA. The first weekend has already come and gone. I´m going to start this first entry off with a bang. This goes out to Luke Barklow because I know he´ll take great pleasure in this only because it was a key ingredient to ¨the weather machine.¨I drank milk straight from a cows udder! Yup. Thats right. Around 5 am on Sunday morning, me, oscar (the host father), Kattia (the host mother), Juan Pablo (their son), Andres and Juan Carlos (Kattia´s other 2 sons) and a bunch more of their relatives that I can´t remember went to this... I´m not even sure what you´d call it, but lets just say a ... read more

I found someone on my buddy list that had this thing and I thought it would be cool to try to log my travels, both past and future, so friends and family can follow along, even if they can't afford the trip with me. So, without further ado, here are summarized transcripts of a journal I kept the 85 days I spent in Costa Rica. Enjoy!

So D and I jump out of the bus in chompas to await the next bus, suddenly there is a bit of a commotion. The driver and assistant are standing looking down at the tire, which appears obviously flat. Shrugging his shoulders the assistant waves his hand out toward the tire and the driver gives it a wallop of a kick...nothing happens...seconds pass...nothing happens…With a shrug of the shoulder he reboards the bus. We haven’t heard from M since I hope she's ok. The photo here is of the evening ride to libera.... read more

D, M and I wait in the lobby for super slow free internet access. Overall the Tranquillo backpackers hostel in san jose is the best Ive been to. a great kitchen with outside dining, a tiny but effective pourch out front and most importantly bag storage. I left a pile of things here for my return trip mostly shirts and pants that I won{t need for my trip up north.... read more
