So, first off, my backpack got left in Texas. Super start to the trip. I still don´t have it, but I have been told that it is going through customs and should be at my hostel in a few hours. My fingers are crossed. So lets just say that last night was a bit ...disapointing. I spent the morning sitting around the pool being in a generally bad mood and worried about if it was even going to come back. At the time it was completely MIA.
This mornging I met my first friend, Lisa, who I have been walking around town with most of the afternoon. She is from Austrailia and leaves tomorrow morning. I will stay in San Jose for another night and then take off. I still haven´t figured out where I will go next. Think about it in the morning.
San Jose has been a bit of a culture shock for me. The driving is a bit crazy and people use their horns all the time. It is nuts. There doesn´t seem to be much concern for traffic laws here. The weather has been both hot and sunny as well as slightly chilly with rain. Other than that, I really haven´t done a whole lot as of yet. Just general wandering and taking in the sights, sounds, and smells. My plans for the rest of the evening is to grab a few beers with Lisa and head back to the hostel and wait for my things to (hopefully) arrive.
I have another friend, Melody, who arrived in Costa Rica a day before I did and I will try to meet up with her for the few days that she is here. I just have to find her first. ...small problem there I guess.
