Nicoya!

How bout that! im not in mastatal any more! 5 of us-me, bodhi (the girl who was volunteering with me), aaron and greg (the two canadians volunteering at another place) and jorge (the 20 year old son of the tico family that runs the volunteering place where aaron and greg were at) - left from mastatal thursday morning for some fun in the sun at esterillos. we didn´t know where we were going to stay but at lunch ended up meeting a guy whose family rented out cabinas that we could get for 10 bucks a person. that sounded good so we followed his directions there except they were terrible and we ended up walking forever and asking like 3 more people where the houses were. but eventually we made it and when we got there they were like sike you don´t have to stay in the little cabinas you can stay in the big mansion next door for the same price. granted the front window had been broken the enormous jacuzzi wasn´t working, one of the showers didn´t work, one bathroom leaked, and there wasn´t a pot, but this place was honestly and truly amazing. oh and it was about 5 feet from the beach. so we ended up staying there for two nights and enjoyed the sun and sand and super warm ocean and life. then aaron greg and jorge, who had just come with us for a mini vacation, left back to mastatal, and me and bodhi were left alone to brave the unknown. our eventual destination is nosara where she has a family friend that she can stay with. we have yet to determine if theres room for me too haha. anyways so that first day we made it to puntarenas which was a very peaceful little port town on a mini peninsula. we stayed at a small hotel that had a guy at the front desk named fransisco who sung opera with the tv and who was supposed to wake us up in the morning but slept through his alarm. that brings us to this morning, when we caught the 6 am ferry out of puntarenas. the ride was gorgeous with lots of pelicans and sun and wind and super green islands. we then promptly missed the bus to nicoya because it for some reason left 2 minutes before we got off the ferry, so we had to taxi to jicaral and then bus from there to nicoya. and then we were super hungry but its sunday so not much was open and we ended up eating chinese food. it was good but just super weird to have it here. and now if everything goes to plan we´re going to bus from here to nosara at 3. its supposed to be a 4 hour ride which just kinda sucks. apparently on the bus ride here i fell asleep and my head was nodding off nearer and nearer to the girl next to me and she kept inching away haha. well i don´t really have any clue when ill have internet next, but ill write when i do. hasta luego.
