David and I are going into town to talk to women! Oh, and I might buy some natural soap…
Just switched batteries for more power cord free laptop time. Big thanks to Theo for bringing me 2 new batteries from the US!
Frozen bananas blended with fresh blackberries for an all vegan, pure fruit, ice cream breakfast, delicious! Best use of the blender yet.
Cooking yucca, playing computer games, eating candy, and listening to the rain falling on the tin rooftop…
Prepaid ICE sim card in Costa Rica
Yesterday I bought a prepaid ICE sim card in Costa Rica. Last time I was in Costa Rica they didn’t exist. Then they were available, but very hard to find I read. I walked into a shop called abCelular in … Continue reading
Playing a lot of online poker lately. Got my play money chips back over 700 for the first time. Now back down and coming up again…
Good morning mi casa. I awoke in a bed I can call my own. First time in a long while.
Hammocks, candles, incense, guitar, singing, we’re welcoming in the house in appropriate style. I am home. All are welcome here.
We have moved in! Hammocks installed, blender purchased, wifi working like a charm, life is feeling pretty damn sweet tonight!

Just paid the deposit. I’ll be living near San Isidro, Costa Rica for 4 months. Incredible spot, river, trees, nature galore. Come visit…
Set a new record today. Noe, 62, took the top spot from Lucy, 59, as my oldest motorcycle passenger!
Met Ruben in San Isidro and arrived at the place that we’ll probably call home for the next few months. It’s a beautiful spot.
Nosara to Uvita in a 5 hours including a lunch stop. No police interference. All in all, a good day’s riding.
Leaving Nosara this morning under blue skies and sunshine! Skipping San Jose and heading down the coast road to Uvita instead.
Just as I was about to leave Nosara, thunderstorm. No riding to Tamarindo today. Maybe tomorrow, weather permitting…
Left Santa Teresa this morning, in Nosara now, pushing onwards for Tamarindo once again to collect my tobacco before going back south…
After a night in Nosara, Amy and I rode south along the coast, got the bike stuck on the beach, out again, and arrived in Santa Teresa.
Just heard from Amy, so I’m off to Nosara. Tamarindo no more. Leaving wifi behind for a day or two it would seem…
I’ve just discovered Google Sharing. Awesome, it anonymises all my Google traffic automatically. http://www.googlesharing.net
Time is moving slowly in Tamarindo. I’m waiting to leave for the second day now. Hoping to meet Amy in Nosara tomorrow…
I’m in Tamarindo, which will serve as the site of my 28th birthday celebrations…
Upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. A little research and the process was painless. Lots of new versions, very exciting.
After much discussion this morning, I think I’ll stay another night in San Jose and then head to Tamarindo tomorrow to meet Tomas on Friday.
