Back in Costa Rica
After spending a little more than a week in nicaragua we are now back in the costa rica. Our traveling buddy, Betsy II (also from madison), left us yesturday for home and so Betsy I and i are once again a pair of travelors.
We spent two nights in San Jose at the Hostel Pangea. Pangea was a nice place but San Jose in general didn´t seem to have a whole lot to do or feel all that safe. Our second night there we made it over to the casino at the radisson where we managed to get a free buffet and drinks all nigh while only spending about $2-3 a peice on the slots. from there we caught a bus up to Tamarindo on the NW cost and i´m not all that sure where we´ll be heading next. i´m fairly certain that the next few days will be full of me sitting on the beach with a book. Maybe some snorkeling.
Oh, and mike, the walk out into the lake at the top of the volcano was super muddy. every step i would sink into the mud up to my calf, and rondom spots would let me sink all the way up to my thigh in mud. But getting out into the lake was well worth the mud. Luckily there were no leaches.

wow, sounds like your kids' existence sucks. if it'll make you feel any better, i graded my first scantron test yesterday. it was actually glorious. amazing. wonderful. you put this little piece of paper with a kids name on a metal rack. you think back on how invested in this kid you are. you think of either how he or she let you down repeatedly, or you think of how wonderful they were. then the machine makes a corresponding number of clicks as the paper passes through. good kids get one - it's like a lone clap of applause. the fuckers get many. like little bullets piercing through their skin until they cry in shame, "fine, i'll try next year."

Brad sounds like your having a blast and living live to the fullest. Hope your taking lots of pictures to show when you get back. Don't end up like the girl in Aruba.
