Gilly versus the Volcano

Not a whole lot interesting has happened in the past 2 days, and the end of our trip is soon approaching. First, our plane flight out of Puerto Jiminez was canceled. So we decided to drive with Roy back to San Jose. By 'we driving' i mean 'Tom driving'. So we braved the 6 hour highway full of juecas (potholes) and slow trucks on steep and rainy mountain passes and lived to tell the tale. We got lost in San Jose driving around the downtown area, but we managed to drop the car off and get that taken care of. The drivers down here are frickin insane. 2 cars and a motorcycle in one lane at once, que loco. From there, we looked up our favorite cabby Sammy and he happily drove us up to La Fortuna, a small tourist city just beneath the Arenal Volcano. This morning we woke up and went white water rafting on a class 3-4 in which we were all dumped out of the raft briefly. good times :) We plan on finishing the trip with the 9 hot spring pools and lava-heated river tonight, a bit of 'canyoning' and waterfall hiking tomorrow, and a late cab/bus back to San Jose to then catch our Sunday flight. It's been tons of fun, just need more time :) (and more money, damn you Las Vegas...)
