On The Write Path

12th day of the 12th month in Costa Rica

I survived the three flights from Montana to Costa Rica. Great conversation with Mitch from Utah out of Salt Lake. Was given a seat in 1st Class for the overnight flight from Los Angeles. Arrived at 8 a.m., tired and wondering where Bryan was with no way to contact him. He was delayed but found me. He decided that I should stay in San José... so here I am.

It was a bit of a shock to see David at the hostal because I thought he had sold it. Bryan and I rested a bit before he had to go home. I rested some more. Didn't do much except walk around town. Typical first day back. I was here in June.

Maybe I'll do more blogging than I did in México. Won't take much.

Added on the 13th: Slept until 9 and then went back to bed after breakfast. Chatted with two young women from the UK (England and Scotland). Shared room with Connie and her son Brian from Seattle.

Didn't get going until after 2 p.m. after a hot shower. Mostly just wandered around. After a slice of pizza for 1.100 colones (about $2) I wrote a bit while sitting in a small park and in the church during the angelus.

Quiet evening. Spoke with family from Sacramento/Portland. Eating bread pudding and drinking more coffee.
