Hangin' with the Hombres

After Tikal, I hung out in Flores for a few hours, waiting for my bus. It ia s beauty little island, only 300m wide. Wasn't there long, but it was long enough to see a concert in central park. They were a group from Holland, playing Yeddish music, and some of the lyrics were in Spanish...was a bit odd, but very entertaingin nonetheless.
After another long over night bus to Guatemala city, I waited in the bus station for my shuttle to Antigua. My driver was shouting my name for a while, but pronounced it so poorly I hadn't realized. He shuttled me back to Casa Sandra in Antigua (where I had been staying for my Spanish lessons) at 6 in the morning. Everyone was asleep, so I just sat on the roof and watched the sunrise for a while. Pretty gorgeous when the distant volcanoes turn pink and the sun creeps down the forested hillside.
At about 7, I woke Shane up for breakfast, and said the last goodbye. After that, picked up my airplane ticket and a Gallo T-shirt, then caught the 11 o'clock shuttle to the Airport from my 1:20 flight to Costa Rica!
It was a nice quick flight with one 30 minute stop in Managua, but round 2 with San Jose airport went much more smoothly then December 20. Jesse and Nathan were hanging out as I walked out of the doors, and from there we caught a bus into Alajuela so they could pick up their bags at their hotel.
From there, we missioned to bank and watied for a good 30 minutes before I was able to get some money out. From there we caught a bus into San Jose just to hang out for the night, and party a little bit. It was a pretty fun night...but yet again, way too many prostitutes roaming the streets.
And today, we are off to the coast...Manuel Antonio to be exact. Check out the beach and the park (and pick up my lost but found camera) and then from there...who knows!
