Palmar Norte

We left home at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday–thanks for the ride to the Kitsap Airporter Linda! Got into San Jose at about 9:40 Thursday morning. We caught a 1 p.m. bus out of San Jose & arrived here at 7 p.m. We drove drove down hill through the fog on a very windy road for 6 hours. We have not seen any other foreigners yet. I'm getting by with my Spanish. We had a good breakfast of Gallo Pinto con huevos y natilla, & walked over to the high school to look at a couple of two meter pre-Columbian stone spheres. How (why) did they do it!?

We will catch a taxi to Sierpe in an hour. Then we will take an hour boat trip down the Rio Sierpe to Drake Bay. (Named for Sir Francis who stopped by.) Then it's another 20 minutes (whatever) to beach the boat where we are stayin at Punta Marenco. No pictures yet. I had no idea this place would have wireless!
