oh the ever changing plans...

Lauren and I have decided that Costa Rica does not want us so we are going to listen to the signs and leave Costa Rica. Yesterday, after getting robbed, we waited for over 1 1/2 hours for a bus that was supposed to come every 10-15 minutes. The bus was going to take us to Puriscal where we were going to catch another bus to Mastatal and then walk to the farm we were going to work at. As we waited at the bus station we were in fairly foul moods and it wasn't getting better. We looked at each other and nodded. We were going to the beach! So we caught a taxi to the Caribbean bus station and got tickets for the next bus to Puerto Viejo, where we are now.

This morning we treated ourselves to a wonderful breakfast complete with french press coffee and made a new plan of attack.

The new plan.... Today we are going to go to Panama and stay there until it is time for Lauren to fly home. We are going to Panama City first for 4 or 5 days. And then we are going to Bouquete. A smaller town higher up in the mountains of Panama. It sounded nice in the guide book, a little like the town we fell in love with in Mexico, San Cristobal. We will be there for 3 nights and then on to Bocas del Toro for several days of relaxing islands. We haven't quite solidified our plans as to how long we will b each place but I am sure everything will work out.

So that is where I am at. I am slowly getting over the loss of the electronics but it still really sucks. Especially not being able to take photos. Seriously thinking about getting a camera in Panama City. Depends, as always, on the funds.

Panama here we come....
