I have to say I was in the nicest, cleanest, prettiest family ran hostal with my own room two nights ago and the family was amazing AND it was cheap with an incredible kitchen to use in Rivas. But..... I totally had bed bugs! Everything was so clean but then I couldn't stop itching and they were SO hard to see but alas my flashlight said it all. So I hopped on the next bed and sure enough, no bed bugs and I had a good sleep. And luckily since I don't know how bed bugs normally work I am happy to report they did not stay with me.
Anyways 530 am came and it was time to go. Got on a bus with the crankiest dude EVER, he was so mad that I couldn't understand him when he was trying to get me prepared for the border .... But he would nt slow down for me so what could he expect! I can understand and speak Spanish even it's slow but not when it's angry fast. So that was one bus, then 2 hours at the border with my massive mochila on then back on the bus, got let off on the highway, caught another bus, took a taxi to the ferry, hopped on the ferry and immediately saw friends from Montezuma. Congo, Janka and Kirben. They sang and played guitar and the didge for everyone.
I knew at that moment looking across to the nicoya peninsula in the crazy heat and beautiful ocean, I would be home. And here I am!
I walked 100 m out of my hostal last night ( El Parque - stay here and only here if u come to Montezuma, it's clean and family ran and beach side), and sure enough the same artistas I love were on the street!!! I hid behind my hat at first and slowly moved it away so they were wondering who it was at first haha and it was family all over again! Immediate happiness.
Family dinner on The full moon this week is already planned at Nancy's house in Cabuya.
So.. Yay!!!!!! I'm still lying in bed... But across te street down this sheltered walkway that no tourists really know about is the best hole in te wall family breakfast joint, muahahhaa! By joint I mean u actually sit I front if their rustic kitchen and wtch them make breakfast in their kitchen in the same area they have their living room and a clothes washing area.
In my head I fantasize of walking down this pathway and seeing my friend Abbey again, this was her spot, maybe she will be having a coffee. I don't even know if she will be in central this year but if the stars align and we are meant to hang out and share our craziness together we will.
Ciao for now.
