Greetings from Costa Rica!

Post by ponta2147 »

Figured I would be totally lame (awesome?) and post a hello here from beautiful Costa Rica, where I am traveling on business. No, I didn't take the Vibe with me! But I'll try to get some pictures up, maybe when I get back (or sooner if I take some with my phone camera). Not sure I'll see any Vibes around here, might see a Matrix or two possibly, seems they have a lot of Toyota.

Here's a pic of us from the laptop camera... more to come when I have a chance to download off the phone (and have internet, there is a severe lack of internet everywhere)

ponta: I was just riding the blue line back and forth to Ohare the other day. I had to do something with the 10 hours I was stranded there for a harmless thunderstorm. Glad you are liking CR. I have been there twice. Arenal volcano is a must. The Smithsonian Lodge there is very nice for a rustic setting, watching the top spout off every evening. Don't worry about the black color of the water; it is not gulf oil only volcanic soil washing over you. Say hello to the surfers at Jaco for me.

We're heading out to the nat'l park area and some of the beaches today by Manuel Antonio (this is all with my client btw, he's paying for us to be out here so we can meet his partners/friends and talk business and learn about the country he is representing)Is this the thunderstorm from the past week? That one was pretty bad, way worse down at Ohare than up by me.

CR looks AWESOME! A friend went there on his honeymoon and said it was a great place. Whenever the Wife and I take a vacation again I would love to go there.
Vibe is gone and will be missed as I've gone country style
