Ok, well the days of bus riding and 4x4ing are over! Tom and I just arrived at the costa rican backpacker's hostel in San Jose and we are catching our flight back home tomorrow afternoon. It's been quite a ride. Here's the scoop on La Fortuna. It's a perfect little tourist town. We went out to the hot springs which were amazing. The water was super hot and had a lot of force after falling down a waterfall--free massage. After that, we managed to rally and make it to the largest discotec in rural costa rica. It was crazy good times, Tom and I tried the salsa and Laura picked up a few ticos. Afterwards, we went out at 3am and watched the lava flow from the volcano. It was difficult because it was cloudy but we managed to see it! This morning, Laura went on a separate trip to Monteverde while Tom and I tried out Canyoneering--this morning I was rapelling down a waterfall in the jungle. :) Besides a few scrapes and bruises and a busted disposable camera, it was a complete success. Tonight we plan on hitting San Jose hard and 'raging' till dawn. Will be back on US soil next time I write. Unless something goes pleasantly arye...
