Finally Made it to San Jose to Visit the Family
Ok so the other night we were out in Manuel Antonio and Quepos. Me and the Swiss boys and one Chinaman polished off a 5th of Rum in about 10 minutes and we were ready to head out to ladies night for some fun. The blonde flight attendent was feeding me free daquiries and pina coladas all night so I was unusually happy. We met tons of different people, finally ending up with two tica’s and the blonde girl and Mischa.
We danced a bit, which was awesome…………..
Then we dropped off the girls and they told us to call them and to come to San Jose tomorrow and meet them there. I figured “hey I have to go there anyway, why not?” I hopped on a bus with the flight attendant and we went to San Jose, on the way there I found us a hostel that seemed pretty cool slash cheap and we stayed there.
I calculated in my head that at the average rate of places I’m staying at on a regular basis its costing me between 280 and 330 dollars per month for living expenses to travel… pretty righteous.
I gave the girls a call last night but it didn’t result in anything so I’m just going to continue with the regular plan on visiting my family. They shouuuuuld be on their way here right now to come get me.
It was funny because Isabel my aunt called me at the hostel last night and warned me about going outside in this neighborhood. She also warned me about tica girls… and pretty much everything. Ok I’m sure its bad but come on… relax.
No but seriously I just finished talking to a guy from Barcelona that said he heard stories that they don’t even come up to you they just come up from behind, pass you out with some choroform or something and then leave you there. Fucking fantastic. I had flashes of getting mugged the entire way on the bus here and I’m glad I got in a taxi as fast as humanly possible because where they dropped us off definitely seemed a bit sketchtastic.
So everyone I was traveling with has officially left me and I’m here in San Jose alone. This is what I wanted right? Sure why not. I hope my family isn’t totally insane and is bearable. I’m definitely going to be practicing a lot of spanish in this town, its not like the tourist places I have been for the last few weeks. All well.
Half Tico OUT.
