Back to Alajuela and on to USA

Geo: 9.93, -84.08

Got ourselves up and ready and out to the bus. We had no problems with either the ride down to San Isidro de General or the longer ride on to San Jose. We got to San Jose about noon and found a taxi to take us to El Cacique. While waiting for Johnny to return, visited with his uncle.

Ate dinner at Mojito, a restaurant around the corner from his place. Back to El Cacique for glass of wine and beer and visit with two other guests, one from Mexico City and the other from Canada in a region north of Quebec. Very interesting evening and off to bed for 5:30 taxi. This is one of the nice features of staying here. You are so close to the airport....can watch the planes speeding down the runaway for takeoff! Johnny will call the taxi service for you to arrange a taxi for these early morning flights and the taxi shows up and on time!

The plane ride home was uneventful and all the luggage arrived and Reggie and Marlie were there to greet us.
